How to Sync Microsoft 365/Office 365/o365 User Lists, Aliases, and Distribution Lists With MailRoute

MailRoute has created a full level API-level integration for more efficient management of your o365 users.   Our system will sync to o365 so all your user lists, aliases, distribution lists are automatically updated on our end whenever you change things in o365. 

To begin the sync option you will first need to ensure the correct server type is listed in your dashboard.

You can select server type:

• When adding a new domain
• When changing a server that already exists in your dashboard.

1) When adding a new domain to the dashboard, add the new domain and select which server type from the drop down menu. Click Next.

2) If you are changing your server type in your dashboard, go to Inbound Servers and click on the edit icon to the right of the existing Server type. A menu will pop up and from there select server type from the drop down menu.  Click Save.

In both cases, once the server type is selected you will now see the corresponding Sync tab listed under 'Users'

Select the Sync tab and proceed through the steps to complete.  You will need to begin by granting permission for MailRoute to read your organization's user list.  

Once permission has been granted, set up the Automatic Synchronization to set up the sync schedule.
