Before we can build our workflow, it is best to set up your template(s). Templates contain common mappings and settings used to sync Users, Contacts, Devices, Groups, Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams. A template can then be applied to any workflow with a Stage Data step.

Cloud to Cloud GAL Sync Source to Target
Cloud to Cloud GAL Sync Target to Source
Local to Local GAL Sync
