LinkPoint Connect is a PC-installed application that allows users to work with and create Salesforce data directly in desktop instances of Outlook. To get started, users must download the LinkPoint Connect Installer, which is accessible via the Salesforce AppExchange, the LinkPoint360 website, or a direct link provided by a LinkPoint360 Account Executive. All methods provide access to the same Installer for free trial and licensed users.
