Connect Microsoft 365 from /connections/microsoft when you want Outlook and Teams context available in aura. This guide shows you how to complete the connection, what becomes available after setup, and how to recover if the connector needs attention later.

Connect Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 uses a standard OAuth sign-in flow.

  1. Open the Microsoft 365 card from Connections.
  2. Click Connect.
  3. Sign in with your Microsoft account.
  4. Approve the requested access.
  5. Return to aura.

If the flow completes successfully, the connector becomes available from the Connections screen and you can start using Microsoft-backed modes from Home.

What Microsoft 365 unlocks

After connecting Microsoft 365, aura can use Microsoft-backed context for:

  • Outlook mode in Home
  • Teams mode in Home
  • Glance for an email-first briefing

This is the right connector when your work starts from Outlook threads, meeting context, or Teams conversations.

Verify the connection

After setup, return to Connections and check the Microsoft 365 card.

You should expect:

  • the card to move from Not connected to Ready
  • the action button to change from Connect to Configure
  • Microsoft-backed chat modes to become available on Home

If the card is still not ready, refresh the page once and check the status again.

Reconnect when needed

If the Connections screen shows Reconnect, the Microsoft token needs attention. This usually means the account link expired or needs to be refreshed.

Use this recovery path:

  1. Open the Microsoft 365 connector page from Connections.
  2. Disconnect the current link if needed.
  3. Click Connect again.
  4. Complete the Microsoft sign-in flow.
  5. Return to Connections and confirm the card is back to Ready.

Use Microsoft 365 after setup

Once the connector is ready, start from Home if you want aura to work inside Microsoft context immediately.

Common next steps:

  • choose Outlook to triage email and draft replies
  • choose Teams to review conversation context
  • open Glance when you want a shorter daily briefing first

Good to know

Microsoft 365 is the connector behind both Outlook and Teams behavior in the app. You do not connect those separately.
