When installing or using EmailMerge365, you may see a message such as “Need Admin Approval” or “Approval Required.”
This can happen when:
- Installing or using the EmailMerge365 Outlook add-in
- Accessing the EmailMerge365 portal (e.g., to view tracking or subscription information)
This happens because EmailMerge365 requires permission to access your mailbox, send emails on your behalf, and access related account data. Microsoft 365 requires an administrator to grant these permissions before the app can be used.
