An essential AddOn when integrating Act! for Web, Act! Cloud, or Act! Hosted with Microsoft Outlook

The Top Selling Act! add-on of all time has been updated to work through the WebAPI to access Act! Cloud databases, and has been rebranded as Act4Mail.

Yes, it’s here. All the functionality of Act4outlook is now seamlessly integrated into Act! for Web.

Act4outlook no longer requires MAPI integration and includes enhanced install shield. Less reliance on the native Act-Outlook integration delivers faster and more reliable performance, and now works with both 32 & 64-bit versions of Office!

What’s unique about Act4Mail vs Act4outlook?

  • Act4mail can work with local databases using Act! Connect Link or hosted databases using the WebAPI, whereas Act4outlook can only work with local or network databases
  • Act4mail requires an Act! subscription, and the user must be assigned the WebAPI permission in the user roles.
  • Act4mail is a subscription, whereas Act4outlook is a perpetual license
  • Act4Mail also includes MailMerge4actWeb which allows you to produce and send beautiful HTML emails easily and safely. No more lost images, or emails that get delivered looking very differently than designed. The built-in publisher in MergeMail4act! allows any user to create attractive emails they’ll be proud to send, and easily insert merge codes from your Act! database to ensure a personalised delivery to your recipients. It includes new features for added deliverablility, speed, and HTML file handling. It also includes a new “Message Details” History recording section to help with History bloat from large mail merges.
  • Mail merges do not require Outlook and are sent using your the SMTP service of your own choice.

The 28-day extended trial is designed for businesses that want to experience Act! Advantage working inside their business, not just explore features.

To access the extended trial, you’ll book an initial session with an Act Today consultant based in Australia or New Zealand.

At the 14-day mark, you’ll have a second check-in with your consultant to answer questions, refine your setup, and remove any roadblocks. This ensures you’re not left guessing and that the system is actually supporting your work.

By the end of the 28 days, you’ll know exactly how Act! Advantage fits your business and whether it delivers real value.
