Mention + Office 365 Integrations

Mention is a social media monitoring top used to get real-time social media content. It is an online top used for promoting your business, brand and company in the market. You can also use Mention App for website monitoring, social media monitoring & brand mentions tracking as well as managing brand mentions. Mention helps you identify the people that are talking about your brand or business and once identified, the individual can be contacted directly for seeking any information or help or even a query. This is much easier than emailing each one of them individually.

Mention’s integration with Microsoft Office 365 allows you to sync all your social media data to the Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Teams, allowing you to perform tasks like scheduling an email or share a link without leaving the inbox. The integration also allows you to send an email from the mentioned status.

The integration is possible because of the API provided by Mention for third-party apps. Now, you can add Mention to the Office 365 App Launcher, creating a seamless experience between the two apps.

The integration between these two softwares runs smoothly, so you don’t have to worry about any hiccups while using either product. The integration helps you to add all your social media data into your Outlook email or Teams chat, which could be very useful if you are running a business.

Mention provides three ways of integration. Office 365 Outlook Addon, Office 365 Groups Addon and Teams Addon. All three of them are explained in detail below:
