AdvisingSync is a Microsoft 365-native workflow for managing pre-health letters of recommendation, from student request to evaluator submission to internal tracking and storage. It’s built for advising teams that want structure and visibility without relying on an external vendor.

AdvisingSync works with Microsoft and Google Workspaces.

No. All data, files, and workflow components live inside your existing Microsoft 365 tenant (SharePoint + Power Automate + Forms + Outlook or Gmail). There is no separate vendor portal storing letters.

No. Evaluators submit through a reply to a secure email and do not need to create an account. This keeps the experience simple for faculty and external recommenders.

Yes. AdvisingSync supports submissions from evaluators outside your institution.

Advising staff get a real-time tracker of request status and submission progress, plus a complete audit trail of activity. This reduces chasing, reduces inbox sprawl, and makes it easy to answer “where is this student’s file?”

Implementation is a guided install into your tenant with documentation, configuration steps, and live support. Most schools can be up and running quickly depending on internal IT review.

There are no ongoing fees - the only requirement is an institution owned Microsoft 365 subscription. No premium connectors are used.

After a one-time installation fee, institutions become owners of the workflow.
