Yes - you can connect our Email Sequencer to Microsoft Outlook via OAuth during sender setup. [1]
Step-by-step:
1.
In a table with your leads’ email addresses, click Add column → Create Clay email campaign.
2.
In Campaign settings, confirm the Lead email address column.
3.
Go to Sender setup → choose Microsoft Outlook OAuth (recommended) and complete the OAuth flow.
4.
If you see an access error, you (or your admin) must authorize the Clay Sequencer app for your domain.

how do you authorize the clay sequencer app for our domain?

To authorize the Clay Sequencer app for your domain, this is an admin-level approval step in your org’s email admin console. For Google Workspace specifically, your admin needs to set the Clay Sequencer app as “Trusted” in the Google Admin console under Security → API Controls → Authorize the app → Sign in & connect through OAuth.
After the admin marks it trusted, it can take up to 24 hours for the change to take effect and for accounts in your domain to connect successfully via OAuth.
For Microsoft, the required permissions are shown during the OAuth flow when adding the account in Sender setup. [1]

The Microsoft permissions are disclosed during the OAuth flow when you add your account in Sender setup. [1] We request these specific permissions: offline_access, openid, email, profile, Mail.Send, Mail.Send.Shared, Mail.ReadWrite, Mail.ReadWrite.Shared, User.Read, MailboxSettings.ReadWrite.
However, unlike Google Workspace which has detailed admin console steps, the Microsoft authorization process happens directly through the OAuth flow rather than requiring separate admin panel configuration.

does this need to be approved by an admin for each individual sender or once at the org level?

For Microsoft Outlook OAuth, the approval requirement depends on your org’s Microsoft settings, but in Clay the connection is done through the OAuth flow when each sender adds their account in Sender setup. [1] [2]
If you see an “access” error, it means you or your Workspace admin must authorize the Clay Sequencer app for your domain - once that’s authorized, accounts in your domain can connect successfully via OAuth.
If you tell me the exact “access” error text you’re seeing during Outlook OAuth, I can help interpret what it implies for org-level vs per-sender approval.
