Native Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Integration

SharePoint content: JungleMail pulls live content from SharePoint lists/libraries and can archive newsletters back to SharePoint. Workshop links files or a web-view – no native SharePoint News embed.

Identity & audiences: JungleMail targets existing Entra ID/Exchange groups (no separate contact sync – we believe it’s safer). Workshop builds lists in its cloud from synced directory/HR data.

Sending & hosting: JungleMail sends from your tenant via Microsoft Graph. Workshop is vendor-hosted (AWS) and sends from its web app.

Governance: JungleMail stays under your Microsoft 365 policies. Workshop is governed in the vendor’s cloud.
