Easy Directory for Teams – Start finding your contacts

Learn why you use Easy Directory in your Microsoft Teams tenant.

Multiple contact sources

Configurable Unified Search to locate contacts across multiple sources.

  • Exchange Online (personal contacts and shared contacts)
  • Microsoft Entra ID (your Microsoft 365 users)
  • Third-party ERP or CRM (*)

Real-time presence status

Presence Status – our newest feature is one that will enhance your Teams experience exponentially.

With Presence Status, you and your team members receive real-time insights into the status of everyone you need to connect with, you got it, in real-time. Combining the power of Presence Status with Custom Views, you create an efficient way to manage all your contacts and streamline internal communication.

Organize Contacts Intuitively

Organise your contacts by tags and extend the Easy Directory Search with useful filtering options. For example, tag users from your organization by department and display them filtered or grouped by department.

Save any search or filter configuration in a custom view, which is then available to you at any time.

Quick Actions

See the Teams presence as well as the user photo in internal (or federated) Microsoft 365 contacts. Start a Teams call, video call or chat directly. Dial phone numbers with just one click. Initiate composing an email and also view locations directly on Google Maps with one click on the address. Also get access to company-specific contact info (attributes of CRM/ERP systems) if you integrate a CRM/ERP with Easy Directory.

Synchronize Contacts

Synchronise contacts from different sources directly into your personal Outlook contact folder. This way you can use the contacts wherever you have Outlook installed, e.g. on iPhone or Android devices. The contacts always remain up-to-date in your Outlook.

Add Custom Additional Attributes

If you maintain additional contact attributes in Azure Active Directory or in one of your third-party systems (for example, an ERP/CRM), you can also integrate these (up to 10 attributes each) in Easy Directory. For example, you can integrate customer numbers, responsible persons, dates or other information attributes that you need for your business into Easy Directory. (*)
