Orange Tracker and Microsoft 365 Integration

Microsoft 365 for Jira is a plugin that connects Orange Tracker with Office applications, offering a range of features to sync and manage tasks across platforms. This allows for two-way integration between Orange Tracker and Microsoft Teams and Outlook (email and calendar). This integration is enabled per project, and requires connectors be installed in Teams as documented below.

To request this integration be enabled for your project(s) or report an issue during the pilot phase, submit a https://support.atlassian.syr.edu/servicedesk/customer/portal/22/group/1077/create/2551 via the CDI Applications portal.
