With Contacts by XPhone you can build a bridge between your applications
and Microsoft Teams.
Various data sources can be connected using the data connector.
The mapping wizard ensures that data fields can be
assigned as required.
Do you struggle with multiple phone number formats? The data connector
doesn't!
All phone numbers are converted into a standardised
format. Completely automatically.
The centrepiece of the Contacts app is our data connector. The connector not only allows you to easily connect numerous applications and data sources via drag & drop. It also automatically standardises all phone number formats.
The data connector – also called the directory service – is installed directly on your company server.
Plug & Play commissioning occurs without special port releases (except 443 HTTPS).
The connector includes a multi-site capable phone number index and a high performance index for fast data search.
Data sources can be easily connected via drag & drop. The mapping wizard allows flexible and simple linking of the source data:
Here you can also prioritise the databases and specify which search results should be displayed at the top.
The next step is to register the Microsoft Teams tenant.
To do this, simply authenticate yourself in the administration interface of the data connector as the MS Teams administrator for your company. This creates a permanent link between your directories and your MS Teams tenant.
The Contacts by XPhone app is provided free of charge as a certified application via the Microsoft App Store.
Using "app pinning", the application can be made visible in the MS Teams client without the user having to do anything.
The permissions check runs via the Microsoft 365 user and group manager or an Active Directory. Access rights can be configured for each data source.
No separate user administration is required.
