Note: Before enabling the sync, make sure to import/ sync users from Office 365. |
With Microsoft 365 integration, you can enable the following synchronizations:
To enable the sync:
Tick off the User phonebooks checkbox and click Enable
Log in to your Microsoft account and click Accept to give the required permissions:
To stop the sync, click Disable.
Note: The Disable button deactivates both synchronizations. In case both user calendars and user phonebooks sync are activated, but you wish to disable only 1 of them, you need to click Disable and re-enable the necessary option again. |
After the sync is enabled, users’ personal phonebooks from Microsoft 365 become available in the list of phonebooks in Collaboration and are named in the following way: MS365/{name of the folder in Microsoft 365}.
Note: If you disable User phonebooks sync, already synced phonebooks are not removed from Collaboration unless manually deleted. |
You can also enable caller name lookup in Microsoft 365 user phonebooks. This can be done by setting a custom Dialplan variable – see the guide Custom Global Dialplan Variables List for more info.
After the sync is enabled, Microsoft 365 calendar events are synced with Collaboration and updates user status in Collaboration. When the event starts, user status in Collaboration is changed to DND. The name of the event is displayed as a status message by default unless manually changed.
Starting from WMS 5.04.20220309.1, it is possible to manage status mapping via Collaboration -> Settings -> Microsoft365 tab.
