Exchange Server Configuration

PeopleFluent Learning supports bi-directional synchronization of events to and from Microsoft Exchange Server. This requires: 

• Configuring Office 365 Exchange Online for OAuth2
• Registering the Exchange Server in the LMS
• Associating the exchange account (emails) with various entities in the LMS

Once set up, calendar events, such as personal events, class schedules, and facilities and class resources bookings) can be pushed to the Exchange Server to be displayed on the respective calendars, while events created on the Exchange Server can be synchronized to the calendars in the LMS.

Configuring Microsoft Exchange Servers is beyond the scope of this documentation. For more information, see the Microsoft Exchange Server Integration Guide, available from the Customer Community.
