Hyper for Outlook Contacts

What Hyper reads

Hyper keeps a searchable copy of every contact in your main Contacts folder and your other contact folders, and in the folders one level inside them. It copies each contact's name, company, job title, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, birthday, categories, and notes. It does not copy contact photos. New and changed contacts show in Hyper within minutes, and a deleted contact leaves Hyper within about 10 minutes. When you ask, Hyper can also read contacts in deeper folders and contact photos. Hyper cannot read your company directory or contact folders that other people shared with you.

What Hyper can do

Create, change, and delete contacts and contact folders. Hyper cannot add a contact photo from your computer. Hyper asks you before each action, unless you chose to always allow that kind of action.

Before you connect

Hyper can read every contact in your address book, with personal details about other people, such as their phone numbers, addresses, and birthdays. Hyper can delete a contact or a folder for good, so that you cannot get it back in Outlook. If Outlook on your phone saves contacts to your phone, changes show there too. Text in a contact, such as a note pasted from an email, can hide instructions that try to trick an assistant, so check each change before you approve it. Your admin can block this connection for work accounts.
