Connecting Outlook

The Outlook connection gives StackTidy direct access to scan your inbox for subscription emails. No forwarding rules needed.

Setup

1. Tap your avatar (top-right corner)
2. Open the Import section in the Profile sheet
3. Tap Connect Outlook
4. Sign in with your Microsoft account
5. Grant the requested permissions (read-only access to emails matching subscription patterns)
6. You're connected - tap Scan now to start immediately

Running a scan

After connecting:

1. In the Import section, find your connected account
2. Tap Scan now
3. The button shows "Scanning your inbox…" while it runs
4. When done, the Profile sheet closes and the review sheet opens automatically
5. Keep or skip each detected subscription

Scan frequency

• Manual scan: Tap "Scan now" anytime for an immediate check
• Background scans: StackTidy scans periodically while your connection is active

What we scan for

We look for emails matching subscription patterns: payment confirmations, receipts, invoices, renewal notices, trial conversion messages. We do not read unrelated emails.

Microsoft 365 / work accounts

If your organization uses Microsoft 365, your IT admin may need to approve the StackTidy app before you can connect. If you see a "Need admin approval" screen, contact your IT department.

Disconnecting

1. Go to the Import section (avatar → Import)
2. Tap Manage next to your connected account
3. Select Disconnect

Disconnecting stops future scans. Previously caught subscriptions remain in your Radar.
