Follow the instructions in the email to activate your integration. To complete this process, you’ll want to make sure you have:

• The login credentials for your Office 365 administrator account (this is sometimes included in your activation email)
• A few minutes to add users (your employees) to your Office 365 organization, granting them access to the Sage apps and add-ins for Office 365. Here’s how to do that.
