Outlook / Microsoft 365 Sync Troubleshooting

Trouble syncing? Enable Microsoft 365 permission settings so users in your organization can connect calendars and contacts to Apptoto.

Microsoft Entra is a service that helps your company control who can access what in your organization. It allows your IT team or an admin to manage users, their devices, and the apps they use.

Often, companies prevent team members from granting third-party applications access to their company’s data without administrator review and approval, to ensure the app meets security and compliance standards.

You may see one of the two permission screens below when connecting Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft 365, or another Microsoft account to Apptoto. Follow the steps in the section that matches the screen you’re currently on.

If you see the screen above when attempting to sync your Microsoft property to Apptoto, you’ll need to work directly with your Microsoft admin to get Apptoto approved before you can sync your calendar.

Option 1: Have an admin from your company navigate to https://secure.apptoto.com/office365/start_microsoft_graph?admin_consent=true to sign in with their account to review and approve Apptoto’s requested permissions. Once approved, all team members should then be able to follow these steps to sync their calendars and contacts to Apptoto.
