1. Connector Solution Enables Customers to Sync Calendars with Office 365 Conversation Streams
“Office 365 is one of the most popular collaborative solutions for professionals. We aim to connect the world’s calendars to the world’s applications. When we learned about the Office 365 Connector program we had to add it to our suite of connectors.” – Adam Bird, CEO and founder, Cronofy
SITUATION
Millions of professionals use Office 365 to communicate with colleagues and stakeholders. They might use different calendar services, but they need to stay on top of deadlines and commitments. Office 365 conversation streams are great for this, but if users can’t sync calendar events with these streams, then they are likely to miss important updates. Cronofy wanted to help Office 365 users add calendar information to conversation streams.
