    I'm not seeing a link to the Outlook Add-In executable here, or any mention of where to download it.  I'd recommend either attaching the executable or linking to the Client Portal Downloads page.

      Tim, that's a great suggestion. I've updated the page to link to the Client Portal Downloads. Thanks for pointing this out!
