Learn how to bring Haiilo’s engagement and simplicity to the Microsoft 365 tools your people already use, so updates reach everyone, information is easy to find, and work flows without friction.
You already know Haiilo as your platform for connecting employees, sharing news, and building culture. Now imagine bringing all of that directly into the Microsoft 365 environment your people use every day.
That is exactly what the Haiilo and Microsoft 365 integration does. It connects your internal communications hub with the tools your employees already rely on for their daily work: Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and more.
In other words, you can keep using Microsoft as your collaboration backbone, while Haiilo adds the engagement, visibility, and simplicity your communications need.

Understanding the limitations of Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 is a reliable workplace suite.
It is excellent for co-editing documents, running meetings, and chatting with colleagues. But when it comes to reaching everyone with important updates, helping them find the right resources, or making sure information is accessible on any device, there are real gaps.
You have probably seen some of these in your own organization:
- Important updates get missed because not everyone has time to scroll Teams or check SharePoint every day.
- Files live in too many places, so people waste time asking, “Where’s that document again?”
- Deskless and frontline employees feel left out because the mobile experience just doesn’t keep them in the loop.
- “Free” SharePoint sites turn out to be costly – and complicated – to build and keep up to date.
Why Microsoft 365 works even better with Haiilo
Haiilo does not replace Microsoft 365 — it makes it work harder for you.
By bringing the two together, you give employees one simple, familiar place to get updates, find what they need, and take action, without hopping between tools all day.
Here’s what that looks like in real life:
Reach employees where they already are: Post in Haiilo and it pops up in Microsoft Teams, so even field or frontline staff see it before their next shift.
Make content easier to find: One search in Haiilo shows results from both Haiilo and SharePoint, so documents, videos, and guides are all in one place.
Give employees one launch point for everything: Add Microsoft apps into the Haiilo Launchpad so people can open Outlook, OneDrive, or Teams from the same page they read the company newsletter.
Keep calendars aligned: Add an event in Haiilo and it’s instantly in everyone’s Outlook calendar.
Bring all content formats together: Watch Microsoft Stream videos directly in Haiilo, attach SharePoint files to posts, and start a Teams chat from any Haiilo page.
