Connector for M365 – Seamless Integration of Microsoft 365 and innovaphone PBX

The Connector for M365 makes your business communication even smarter. The app connects Microsoft Teams with innovaphone myApps, ensuring automatic synchronization of presence and call status. All participants remain available at all times – without annoying double ringing, and without losing information.

Why is this Connector Essential?

If you use Microsoft 365 with Exchange online, you should keep in mind October 2026. On October 1^st, 2026, Microsoft will discontinue the EWS protocol used to date. This means following: The Calendar App will no longer work for the calendar presence synchronization between Microsoft 365 and innovaphone myApps. The Connector for M365 provides a solution because it is based on the modern Microsoft Graph API. It and makes calendar integration and presence synchronization future-proof.

Please note: For users of Exchange on premises, the Calendar App remains the appropriate solution for synchronizing calendar presence.

Your Advantages with the Connector for M365:

• Synchronized presence status: Whether you are in a Teams meeting or in a myApps call – both systems know when you are busy
• Seamless call management: Call forwarding and rules apply automatically, external callers are not left without response
• Line state synchronization: The phone status is also synchronized between both platforms
• Future-proof thanks to Graph API: Calendar integration and presence sync remain fully functional after October 2026
• More convenience (from version 16r1): Contact search and phone number resolution directly in the connector (applies to apps, does not apply to IP phones and the innovaphone PBX)

Practical Example:

An employee is participating in a Teams call. A customer is trying to call the respective innovaphone extension of this employee at the same time. Without the connector, the telephone will keep ringing and ringing, the customer may even end up in the waiting queue. With the Connector for M365, the system will automatically recognize that the extension is “busy”. The call will be forwarded in accordance with the predefined rules – the customer will receive the service, and the employee can participate in the online meeting without any interruption. 

Conclusion

The Connector for M365 is more than just an add-on; it is the key to smooth communication between Microsoft 365 and myApps. By 2026 at the latest, it will be available to Exchange Online users who synchronize their calendar entries.
