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.

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.
