Simplify Administration with Microsft 365 User Sync

Automatically create and manage 3CX phone system extensions by syncing with Microsoft 365 users. This feature eliminates manual entry, saving time and reducing errors. When new employees join or leave, their 3CX extensions are automatically created or deactivated.

This 3CX Microsoft 365 (or Office 365) integration also covers calendar and contact details. Your team can automatically update 3CX status based on Microsoft 365 calendar entries. Status changes reflect “Show As” options like “Do Not Disturb” and revert as calls or meetings end. This feature ensures your team’s availability is always up-to-date across both platforms. Keep your contacts up-to-date as well by syncing from Microsoft 365 to the 3CX phonebook. Manage and update contacts centrally in Microsoft 365 for easy calling via 3CX apps. This bi-directional sync ensures your team always has access to the latest contact information, whether using Outlook or 3CX.

Enable Single Sign-On (SSO) & Leverage SharePoint for Storage

Streamline user access with SSO, allowing your team to log in to 3CX using their Microsoft credentials. This reduces password fatigue and helpdesk requests while enhancing security through centralised authentication. With 3CX Microsoft 365 integration, your team can utilise the existing SharePoint storage for call recordings and backups, too. In turn, you can centralise your data storage, leveraging SharePoint’s robust security and compliance features.

Utilise Teams Direct Routing & Click2Call Seamlessly

Bridge the gap between Microsoft Teams and your 3CX phone system. The 3CX and Teams integration allows Teams users to make and receive external calls via 3CX, providing a unified communication experience. The same goes for Click2Call on Microsoft 365. You can enable your team to initiate 3CX calls directly from M365 applications. With Click2Call, users can dial numbers from Outlook emails, SharePoint pages, or any web page with a simple click. Our team at Com2 Communications can help deploy and configure the Click2Call browser extension, integrating it with your 3CX system.

3CX Microsoft 365 Integration: The Benefits for Your Business

Cost Savings

Leverage your existing Microsoft 365 investment by utilising SharePoint for storage and limiting Teams licenses while keeping most users or agents on 3CX. With this approach, your business can optimise licensing costs and maximise the value of both platforms while providing full communication capabilities to your entire team.

Enhanced Productivity

Integrating 3CX with Microsoft 365 allows your team to work seamlessly across platforms. Launch calls directly from Microsoft 365 with Click2Call, access synced contacts, and stay connected with automatic status updates. This integration eliminates the need to switch between applications, saving time and reducing errors.

Improved Security and Compliance

When you centralise authentication through SSO and utilise SharePoint for data storage, you can enhance your business’s overall security posture. You can apply consistent security policies across your communication platforms, reducing the risk of data breaches.

FAQs

Can I sync my Microsoft 365 contacts with 3CX?

Definitely! 3CX allows for contact synchronisation in two ways. First, you can sync personal Microsoft 365 contacts to the 3CX personal phonebook. Second, you can sync shared mailbox contacts from Microsoft 365 to the 3CX Company directory. Contact our team at Com2 Communications to learn more about 3CX Microsoft 365 integration.

How does calendar integration work between Microsoft 365 and 3CX?

Calendar integration automatically updates 3CX user status based on the “Show As” status in Microsoft 365 calendar entries. For example, if you’re in a scheduled meeting, your 3CX status will be set to “Do Not Disturb,” and your phone won’t ring. When the Microsoft 365 calendar entry ends, 3CX reverts your status to the previous setting.

Can I use Single Sign-On (SSO) with 3CX and Microsoft 365?

Yes. 3CX supports SSO integration with Microsoft 365. This allows users to log in to the 3CX system using their Microsoft credentials, eliminating password fatigue and helpdesk requests. To enable SSO, you need to configure it in the 3CX Management Console under the Microsoft 365 integration settings. Feel free to reach out for more assistance.

How can I leverage SharePoint storage with 3CX?

3CX allows you to store call recordings and backups automatically in SharePoint. This integration provides a centralised, accessible, and secure solution for essential data storage. By using SharePoint, you can utilise storage you’ve already paid for with your Microsoft 365 subscription. We can help you set that up if you need expert guidance.
