SMS integration to Azure...

SMS integration to AD
(Microsoft Entra ID - Azure Active Directory)

With SMS integration to your AAD, you get an efficient connection between your Azure user database and SureSMS.

SMS with Microsoft Entra ID - Azure Active Directory

Do you currently have a large user database in your Azure Active Directory you can benefit from the integration between Azure Active Directory (henceforth AD) and SureSMS.

With the integration, you can ensure that all recipients are automatically synchronized with the users in your AD. This means that if, for example, a user is deleted in your AD because they leave the company, they are automatically removed from the user list in SureSMS. Once you've set it up, you don't have to think about it anymore. It also means that when you add users in your AD, they will automatically be added to the user list in SureSMS dashboarded.

Pay attention to ....

There are a few things to be aware of before you start building an SMS AD integration with SureSMS.

GDPR

The first is that SureSMS must have read access to your AD. We need read access to people, groups and the relationship between them. This means that we now start processing data for you and thus, infollow the GDPRhave a data processing agreement.

You need to make a data processing agreement with SureSMS to get started.

Phone numbers

The phone numbers we need to send to must be in your AD. In order for us to send SMS to a person, we need to know their phone number. Therefore, if you do not have phone numbers in your AD, you must either get them or not make an integration.

We read the phone numbers such that we first read if there is a number in the "Phonenumber" field. If it does not, we read in "Company phonenumbers". The last one is a list and here we take the first number we come across.

Deleting contacts

The integration is a "one-way" integration. This means that we only read from AD. We never write to AD. So, for example, if you delete a person in SureSMS, they will only reappear if they are still in AD. It's always AD that has the right data.
