Dialpad Meetings' Outlook add-on lets you schedule, organize, and modify meetings within Outlook events.

Let's dive into the details.

Who can use this

The integration is supported in Outlook on the Web, Outlook 2013 or later for Windows, and Outlook 2016 for Mac. It is not compatible with on-premise Outlook installations. Refer to our Pricing Page to see if you have access to this feature. If you have any questions about your plan, reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Dialpad Customer Care.

Enable Outlook for Dialpad Meetings

First things first, you'll need to download Outlook for Dialpad Meetings.

A few notes:

  • If you signed up for Dialpad Meetings using SSO with Microsoft Office 365, you're able to sign in using Office 365 as normal
  • If you signed up for Dialpad Meetings using SSO with Google or LinkedIn, you'll first create a password for Dialpad Meetings used for accessing the Add-In

Next, it's time to sign in. 

Follow the instructions below based on the SSO option you're using.

Sign in with Microsoft Office 365

If you use Microsoft Office 365 as your SSO, launch Outlook for Dialpad Meetings and select Log In with Office 365.

Sign in with Google & LinkedIn SSO

If you're using Google or LinkedIn SSO, to sign in select Forgot Password from your Dialpad Meetings dashboard. 

Enter the email address associated with your Google or LinkedIn account, then select Submit.

Dialpad Meetings will send a password reset link. Don't worry, this will not change the password for your Google or LinkedIn account. It just creates a new password for Dialpad Meetings since you don't have one initially when using SSO through Google or LinkedIn.

Use the newly-created password for Outlook for Dialpad Meetings alongside your email address for the Google or LinkedIn account.
