In our Salesforce org, we are seeing the following notification:
"Your org stops syncing with Microsoft when Exchange Web Services (EWS) retires starting October 1, 2026."
We checked our Einstein Activity Capture (EAC) settings and noticed that Google G Suite
is currently connected. We do not have a Microsoft Outlook account connected to EAC.
Based on this configuration, we have a couple of questions:
- Since our EAC configuration is using Google G Suite, do we still need to upgrade the authentication method from Exchange Web Services (EWS) to Microsoft Graph API?
- Since Outlook Integration & Sync is enabled, does this require us to migrate from EWS to Microsoft Graph API even though Google G Suite is the connected account in EAC?
- If the Microsoft Graph API upgrade is still required, what is the recommended authentication level/permission level that should be configured for the Salesforce app in Azure?

- Is there any impact on our current EAC functionality if we continue using Google G Suite and do not have Microsoft Outlook connected?
I have attached screenshots of our current configuration for reference.
Any guidance from someone who has already handled this EWS retirement transition would be greatly appreciated.

Since your Einstein Activity Capture connection is Google G Suite and no users are connected through Exchange, the EWS retirement shouldn't affect your EAC sync. That notice is shown broadly to orgs. Outlook Integration (the Outlook side panel) is separate from EAC's Exchange sync. Before you close this out, check that no EAC configurations or users are connected to Microsoft and that nobody is still using Lightning Sync for Exchange. Sounds like you've already moved to Graph API anyway, so you're covered either way.
