# Microsoft Contacts integration
Manage, monitor, and merge contacts. Synchronize your Microsoft contacts with the sipgate app. In the sipgate app, you can use your Microsoft contacts directly. This way, you always see who is calling and do not have to switch between different tools. sipgate is your phone system with the telephony app for desktop and mobile.

**Important**:\
If you use the installed Outlook 365 app, no contacts are shared with the web version of Outlook and can then not be displayed/used in the sipgate app.
{% endhint %}
Connect sipgate and Microsoft and benefit from automatic contact synchronization. Any changes or new contacts that you add in the sipgate app during or after the call will be automatically saved in Microsoft.
