Connect Microsoft Outlook to Gumloop
Give Gumloop governed access to Microsoft Outlook’s 37 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Microsoft Outlook to Gumloop in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Gumloop then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Microsoft Outlook in Runlayer
Add Microsoft Outlook from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect Gumloop to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Gumloop by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Gumloop reaches Microsoft Outlook’s 37 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Sign in to Microsoft Outlook
Sign in the way Microsoft Outlook requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Gumloop
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Gumloop exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Microsoft Outlook call from Gumloop passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Gumloop as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Gumloop yet, so control happens at the gateway.
