Microsoft 365 Add-in

By linking your Circularo account with Microsoft 365 you will be able to send documents straight into Circularo. You can simply upload the document to your Circularo account in its original format, or send it for signing, converting it into PDF. This saves you the time in manually uploading documents to Circularo.

This add-in is only available for the online version of MS 365. Desktop and offline versions are not supported for this add-in.

If your account is registered on a domain different from one of the Circularo default ones, you will need to manually change the settings of server and tenant in Advanced options. For this reason we recommend first generating an API Key, as the server and tenant are automatically recognized that way and you do not have to change any settings at all. If you need any help with these settings, contact our support team.

Add-in functions

Send to Circularo

This option lets you send the file to Circularo and upload it there for further use. You can either send it as a PDF document and it will get converted before it’s uploaded, or you can send it in its original format. If you then need to start a signing process in Circularo with that file, it will automatically get converted into a PDF.

Sign in Circularo

This will initiate a signing process for this document, which will be automatically converted into a PDF file. The rest of the process, such as selecting recipients, placing signature and other fields, and setting protections or deadlines, will be done in Circularo.
