Integrate with Microsoft 365
Integrating your Microsoft 365/Outlook and Bigin accounts allows you to synchronize contacts and events from Bigin to Microsoft 365/Outlook and vice versa. This ensures that whenever a Contact or an Event is added in one account, it will be updated in the other automatically.
For Example, Zylker - restaurant caters home delivery and also accepts bulk orders for various events such as Birthdays, Wedding Anniversaries, etc. They use a suite of apps in Microsoft 365 such as Outlook, Invoicing, Booking, and Onedrive. The emails they receive from the prospects are added as contacts and meeting with their clients are added as events in Microsoft 365/Outlook.
They also use Bigin to effectively manage the business deals that they have with their customers. Since Bigin and Microsoft 365/Outlook are vital for their business, bridging the apps together will be effective in:
- Maintaining a unified list of contacts.
- Staying on top of all the events that are created in Bigin and Microsoft 365/Outlook so that nothing is missed.
Once you integrate your Microsoft 365 account/Outlook, Bigin Calendar folder will be added to the Microsoft 365/Outlook Calendar. Likewise, Bigin Contacts folder will be added to Microsoft 365/Outlook People. All the calendar events and contacts from Bigin will be available in these folders.
