Connecting to Office 365

To connect your Office 365 account, navigate to Connected Accounts in Settings. To the right of Office 365, select 'Connect'. A popup will appear asking you to continue logging into Office 365. After successfully signing in, your Office 365 account should be connected and ready to use!

🚧

By default, Rally will attempt to use the same email as your user when connecting to Office 365. If you plan to use a different email address to connect to Office 365 than your user’s email address, you’ll need to create a new user in Rally with that different email address. Once the new user with the different email address is created, you can then log in as that user to connect their account to Office 365.

🚧

You may see a different login screen depending on if we detect you’re using an Outlook or Exchange email provider.

🚧

After connecting your account to Rally, you may see a message notifying that you need admin approval before continuing. If you see this message, please contact your IT department requesting them to grant Rally as an approved application for your organization.
