Microsoft Teams is the collaboration tool for your team that is part of Microsoft Office 365 and that integrates all your colleagues, documents, processes and other tools in one convenient place so that your team can be more efficient. The Vizito integration for teams brings even more efficiency to your team by sending out automatic notification to your colleagues when a visitors signs in for them at the reception.
The installation of the integration is really easy and consist out of 2 easy-to-follow steps.
Before starting, please make sure that you are an administrator in Office 365. If not, please forward this guide to one of your IT administrators so that they can connect Vizito with your Office 365 organisation.
Step 1: Connect Vizito to your Office 365 organisation
Go to Vizito Backoffice Integrations section and click on the Add to MS Teams button.
You will be redirected to Office 365 and asked to either sign in or to allow access to the Vizito integration.
If everything goes according to plan, you will see a popup in Vizito that mentions that the integration is pending.
Now you will have to install the bot in Microsoft Teams.
