Prev Next

Bring everything you love about Dialpad into Microsoft Teams to drive productivity with AI-powered interactions and analytics.

With Dialpad’s MS Teams integration, you can make and receive calls to +70 countries, and send SMS and MMS messages from your business phone number.

The best part? No additional install or browser tab is needed - it's all accessible from within MS Teams. Just pin the Dialpad App for MS Teams, and you’re ready to go!

Let’s dive into the details.

Who can use this

Dialpad’s Teams integration is available to Dialpad Sell and Dialpad Support users, as well as Dialpad Connect users on a Pro or Enterprise level plan.

Microsoft Teams is available as part of Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions — if you choose the direct routing option, a Microsoft Teams Phone License is required for this integration, but if you choose our License Free option, no extra license is required.

Due to the complexity of this integration, configuration must be done through Dialpad's Professional Services Team. Please contact your Customer Support Manager or our Sales Team for more details.

Frequently asked questions

What permissions do I need to have to sync new users?

For the initial tenant setup (and subsequent tenancy amendments), the administrator performing the Enable Sync function must have Global Admin rights on their Microsoft 365 account.

Learn how to set Skype for Business Administrator rights in this Help Center article.

Once the initial setup has been completed, anyone with a Skype for Business admin permission role can make subsequent user-level updates.

Skype for Business admin is a legacy term as Microsoft has removed the Skype for Business service, but the security role remains.

Note

The Teams Administrator role does not have the same level of access and cannot be used in place of the Skype for Business Administrator role.

Microsoft has removed the Skype for Business service, however, the Skype for Business Administrator security role remains.

Does the Microsoft credential need to match my user login?

Nope! You can use a separate admin set of credentials for this. Simply enter the other Microsoft credential into the pop-up window when asked to log in.
