The limited sync email configuration grants Lever a narrower scope of access to a user's connected email account. Emails sent from Lever are still routed through users' Google or Office 365 work account. However, unlike the full email sync configuration, responses to email are not synced back to candidate profiles in Lever. Please note, limited sync is only compatible with Office 365 or Google account configurations. Accounts that use Microsoft Exchange (on premise), Zimbra, or no email/calendar provider (ICS) are not compatible with limited sync.
How limited email sync works
When users in your Lever environment opt to grant Lever access to their email (via their account settings), Lever will only request permission to send emails from their Google or Office 365 work account. Lever will not request permission to read emails in the users inbox, meaning email responses will not be synced back to candidates' profiles in Lever. This option is best-suited for organizations with strict security parties that restrict "read access" from third-party applications.
If you opt for limited sync but still require Lever to function as the single source of truth for communication with candidates, request that an administrator of your Google Apps or Office 365 instance set up a one-time configuration of email routing rules. These rules will auto-forward responses to emails sent from Lever, so that they appear on the candidate profile. This will ensure that candidate profiles still show a full and clear timeline of all hiring-related correspondence started in Lever.

Frequently asked questions
If your instance has been configured for limited sync, users that opt into Lever's email integration can only grant Lever the permission to send emails via their Google or Office 365 work account. Users will not be able to grant Lever permission to read their mailboxes.
Request that an administrator of your Google or Office 365 instance set up the appropriate email routing rules. The routing configuration will auto-forward responses to emails sent from Lever back to Lever. This will ensure that your candidate profiles still show a full and clear timeline of all hiring-related correspondence started in Lever.
Assuming that your email server admin has set up the appropriate email routing rules, all responses to emails sent via Lever should be auto-forwarded to us and then synced to the appropriate candidate profile. This includes candidate replies as well as replies that you make to a thread that started in Lever from your work account mailbox.
