Three integrations.Three different jobs.
Entra manages identity and access. Teams brings askAiB into the daily workflow. Exchange connects configured room calendars and Outlook booking activity with askAiB.
One Microsoft environment
Connect the right layer to the right job.
Microsoft 365 integration is not one single connection. askAiB uses different parts of the Microsoft environment for identity, the user experience and calendar synchronisation.
Microsoft Teams
Put the askAiB booking experience inside Teams so people can find colleagues, spaces and resources where they already spend their working day.
DesktopMobileFloorplans
Exchange + Outlook
Connect configured room calendars so askAiB and Outlook booking activity can remain aligned as meetings are created, updated or cancelled.
Two-way syncRoom calendarsRecovery checks
Microsoft Teams app
Bring the full booking experience into the flow of work.
People should not have to remember another website just to plan a day in the office. askAiB runs inside Microsoft Teams on desktop and mobile, giving users familiar access to workplace booking without separating it from the tools they already use.
- Find and book desks, rooms, parking and other resources
- Interactive floorplans and workplace maps
- See colleague schedules and locations
- Make individual, colleague and team bookings
- Use the same booking rules and permissions as the wider platform

Exchange + Outlook room calendars
Book in askAiB or Outlook. Keep the room calendar connected.
Configured askAiB resources such as meeting rooms can connect to their Microsoft Exchange calendars. A booking can begin in askAiB or by inviting the connected room in Outlook, with updates and cancellations processed between the two systems.
Create, update or cancel a connected room booking from askAiB, while Outlook-originated room activity can also be reflected back into askAiB.
Synchronisation runs in the background rather than relying on the user keeping a browser open while Microsoft processes the calendar change.
Scheduled recovery checks sit alongside the live flow to help identify changes that may have been missed during a temporary notification or connection problem.
Microsoft Entra ID
Use the identity and directory structure you already manage.
Connect askAiB to Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on and automated user provisioning. Rather than maintaining a separate user directory by hand, agreed Entra attributes can be mapped into askAiB user fields so workplace access and user data stay closer to the source your IT team already manages.
- Single sign-on with organisational Microsoft credentials
- Automated user provisioning into askAiB
- Map agreed Entra attributes into askAiB user fields
- Use directory groups and mapped data to support access assignment
- Reduce manual user creation and ongoing user administration

Designed for administrators too
Simple for users. Visible and manageable behind the scenes.
Integrations need to work for IT and workplace teams as well as end users. askAiB keeps the day-to-day experience simple while giving administrators and support teams the information needed to configure, monitor and investigate connected services.
Deploy the Teams app through your Microsoft environment and connect the required askAiB services without asking every user to build their own integration.
Use SSO, automated provisioning and field mapping to reduce duplicated account administration and keep askAiB user records aligned with the identity data your organisation already manages.
Booking history and integration diagnostics help distinguish a delayed update, permissions issue or booking that genuinely needs investigation.
Persistent processing, retries and scoped recovery tools help support teams investigate unusual calendar cases without relying on users to recreate bookings.
A connected Microsoft workplace
Identity. Booking. Calendars. Working as one experience.
Entra gets the right people in, Teams gives them a familiar place to work, and Exchange connects the room calendars they already rely on. askAiB sits across those layers with the workplace resources, booking rules and data that make the whole experience useful.
Why organisations switch to askAiB
Easy to adopt. Cost-effective to run.

Microsoft integration FAQs
Questions IT and workplace teams usually ask.
Are Teams, Exchange and Entra the same integration?
No. They serve different purposes. Entra handles identity and access, Teams provides the user-facing workplace booking experience, and Exchange connects configured room calendars and Outlook room-booking activity with askAiB.
Can users book directly inside Microsoft Teams?
Yes. The askAiB Teams app supports workplace booking on desktop and mobile, including resources, floorplans and colleague-related planning.
Can users still book a room from Outlook?
Yes. For resources configured with Exchange integration, users can continue inviting the connected room from Outlook while the booking is synchronised with askAiB.
Is Exchange synchronisation instant?
Synchronisation is processed continuously in the background, but Microsoft processing, room responses, temporary service interruptions or request limits can introduce a short delay. Recovery checks provide an additional safety net.
Does askAiB support Microsoft single sign-on and automated user provisioning?
Yes. Microsoft Entra ID can be used for single sign-on with organisational credentials and automated user provisioning. Agreed directory attributes can also be mapped into askAiB user fields to reduce manual user administration.
Can Entra fields and groups be mapped into askAiB?
Yes. Agreed Entra attributes and directory information can be mapped into askAiB user fields and used to support user management and access assignment, depending on the configuration required.
