Can Affinity support you on setting up EWS?
Unfortunately, we don't have expertise on the Exchange administrator to do a walk through - with our other customers, we have leveraged online materials/guides to complete this setup. Here is the typical flow:
- Create a new Exchange Account
- Create a new Role Group and add Application Impersonation and View-Only Recipients Roles within the group. This will allow us to pull in the team members emails into the platform with view-only access.
- Add in the new Exchange account as a member
- Provide the username and password of the account to us, we can add into the backend

Note: The naming conventions may be different but the actions are the same for Office 365. Please also note that they use View-only configuration vs. View-only recipients.
