Users with Office 365 integration can book Chili Piper meetings seamlessly from their Outlook emails. To do so, you must install the Chili Piper Outlook Add-In. This will allow you to quickly and easily book meetings with the prospect you are emailing via our Instant Booker.
O365's interface appears differently from team to team, so several methods are outlined in this article should you have problems finding the "Manage Integrations" section. This is due to the various UIs that O365/Outlook has.
If you are an Office365 Admin, you can easily install the Chili Piper app for your entire Organization or certain users/groups - please follow the steps here.
If you are an end-user who wants to take advantage of the fantastic Chili features in Outlook, please install the Add-in using one of the methods below.
Note: We have depreciated support for Internet Explorer 11-based versions of Outlook Desktop. Please ensure you are using the most up-to-date version of Outlook using Edge browser integration, or you may be unable to utilize the add-in.
Install the Add-in from Outlook Desktop
1. Open Outlook Desktop and navigate to File, then Manage Add-ins
Or select Get Add-ins from your toolbar:
2. Search for 'Chili Piper' in the Outlook add-in store
3. Choose Add and reopen Outlook!
Note: You may see issues if you're using Outlook's Click-To-Run (CTR) version for Desktop. Click-To-Run is a Microsoft software delivery and updating mechanism available to Office 2010 and later versions that allow users to start the application faster.
This version has fewer capabilities than the one that can be downloaded from www.office365.com, impacting some of our add-in's functionalities.
We highly recommend uninstalling the CTR version and downloading the one from www.ofice365.com.
Here's some documentation to confirm if you have the CTR version. If so, the "Click-To-Run" will be right next to your Outlook build number:
