DALE Labs + Microsoft Graph

Overview: Microsoft Graph × DALE Labs

DALE Labs’ Microsoft Graph integration brings your Outlook email, calendar, and contacts directly into the DALE CRM. For revenue teams selling to B2B buyers entrenched in Microsoft 365, this means you can send AI-personalized outreach from your actual Outlook accounts, detect and act on replies, and automatically book meetings in the prospect’s calendar—all without manual copy-paste or risking deliverability on unfamiliar domains.

By connecting Microsoft Graph via OAuth 2.0, DALE Labs ensures secure, delegated access with full auditability. Every customer-facing email, every reply, and every calendar event is logged, timestamped, and tied to the correct record in your DALE CRM and ARPilot workflows. No more missed follow-ups, lost meeting threads, or compliance headaches.

What the Integration Does: Data Synced, Automations Triggered

DALE Labs’ integration with Microsoft Graph covers four core areas:

• Outlook Email Send & Read: AI-generated CRM outreach is sent from your actual Outlook account, ensuring top-tier deliverability. Incoming replies are ingested and analyzed—DALE’s AI detects meeting interest or objections, moves leads through pipeline stages, and triggers follow-ups automatically.
• Calendar Event Creation: When a prospect books a meeting, DALE creates the event directly in both your and the prospect’s Outlook calendars. No double-booking, no calendar sync hacks—just seamless scheduling.
• Contact Management: Contacts created in DALE CRM sync to your Outlook address book, and vice versa. New prospects, converted customers, and updated info stay consistent across platforms.
• Audit Logging: Every synced email, calendar event, and contact change is audit-logged with timestamps and user attribution. All AI actions (e.g., outreach generation, reply analysis) are tracked for compliance and transparency.

Manual work eliminated: No more exporting and importing CSVs, forwarding meeting invites, or reconciling contacts across systems. Your team spends less time on admin, more time closing deals and collecting revenue.

Step-by-Step: Getting Set Up

1. Initiate Connection: From DALE CRM’s integrations dashboard, select “Connect Microsoft 365 (Graph).”
2. OAuth 2.0 Authorization: Authenticate via Microsoft’s secure OAuth flow—no passwords stored by DALE. Granular, delegated permissions mean you control what’s shared.
3. Configure Sync Settings: Choose which mailboxes, calendars, and contact folders to sync. Set outreach “from” address defaults for each team member.
4. Map CRM Stages: Tie DALE pipeline stages to Outlook behaviors (e.g., move to “Interested” when a reply is detected).
5. Start Automating: Begin sending AI-personalized outreach from Outlook, auto-booking meetings, and syncing contacts—immediately visible in DALE CRM, ARPilot, and reporting dashboards.
6. Review Audit Logs: Every action is logged and accessible in the DALE admin panel for compliance or troubleshooting.

Total setup time: typically under 15 minutes per user.
