Move from Exchange Web Services to Microsoft 365

Use this checklist to move Robin from Exchange to Microsoft 365. It is for organizations that use Exchange with Robin and want to switch to Microsoft 365.

Recreate your setup in Microsoft 365 before you change anything in Robin. Then follow the steps below. To use a migration tool, see Microsoft's guide.

Choose how to connect

A service account is a licensed user account with a specific purpose. A service account connection is more configurable. It suits teams that want the most control over permissions, access logs and similar settings.

Robin recommends this method, because it can feel familiar if you come from an Exchange environment. You can also connect via app.

When Microsoft 365 is set up, remove the accounts linked to Exchange from your Robin office:
