This guide assumes your organization is using Exchange with Robin, and now you're ready to make the switch to Microsoft 365 for a better scheduling experience.
For a smooth transition, we recommend recreating your instance in Microsoft 365 before making any changes in Robin. Follow the outline below to get started. If you prefer to use a migration tool please refer to Microsoft for assistance.
How to connect
A service account is simply a licensed user account with a specific purpose. Connecting with a service account is more configurable and is good for teams that want to maintain the highest level of control over permissions, access logs, etc. We recommend this method because it may feel more comfortable if you're coming from an Exchange environment. Or you can explore connecting via app.
