You can now book desks and meeting rooms managed by Spaceti directly from Microsoft Places and Microsoft Teams.

This integration is designed for organizations already working heavily inside the Microsoft ecosystem and allows employees to reserve workspaces or meeting rooms without switching platforms.


Employees can now book spaces directly inside Microsoft tools

Employees can:

  • search for available desks and meeting rooms,

  • reserve workspaces and meeting rooms

  • and manage reservations directly from Microsoft tools they already use every day.


Sync your workplace setup automatically

Administrators can synchronize:

  • buildings,

  • floors,

  • desks,

  • meeting rooms,

  • and IMDF floor maps from Spaceti into Microsoft Places.


Before you get started

To enable the integration:

  • New MS Outlook integration must already be configured,

  • Microsoft Places must be enabled in the tenant,

  • and the required Microsoft permissions must be granted.


What this improves

This integration helps organizations:

  • create a more native Microsoft workplace experience,

  • simplify booking workflows,

  • improve Microsoft Teams adoption,

  • and centralize workspace management.


A few things to keep in mind

Some advanced Spaceti booking workflows are not yet fully supported inside Microsoft Places:

  • Spaceti check-in workflows,

  • booking modifications,

  • approval-based reservations,

  • and default booking duration settings.

  • limited booking rules customization


Need help?

If synchronization is not working as expected:

  • verify Microsoft permissions,

  • verify the New MS Outlook integration,

  • review synchronization email reports,

  • and confirm Microsoft Places availability in the tenant.


The new Spaceti Microsoft Teams application is now publicly available in the Microsoft Teams App Store - Spaceti Teams App

Employees can now access workplace functionality directly inside Microsoft Teams using Microsoft SSO authentication.


Everything employees need in one place

The Teams application includes:

  • workplace maps,

  • desk booking,

  • meeting scheduling,

  • My Meetings,

  • My Bookings,

  • and “In the Workplace” attendance visibility.


Before you get started

To use the Teams application:

  • Microsoft Teams desktop or web app is required,

  • Passport SSO must be enabled,

  • and users must have access to a Spaceti tenant.


What this improves

Employees can now complete workplace-related tasks directly inside Teams without constantly switching between applications.

This creates:

  • faster booking workflows,

  • better collaboration visibility,

  • and a smoother hybrid workplace experience.


A few things to keep in mind

  • Only Microsoft SSO authentication is currently supported

  • External guest authentication is not yet available

  • Currently the tenant switching is not supported so please carefully select the tenant while initially setup


Need help?

If login fails:

  • verify Teams permissions,

  • verify Passport configuration,

  • remove and reinstall the Teams application,

  • and verify organization assignment.

This release introduces the new Insights Analytics Dashboard with event-level workplace analytics visibility.

The dashboard helps organizations better understand how spaces are actually being used and identify opportunities to improve workplace efficiency.


Types of workplace insights

Ghost bookings

A workspace is occupied without an existing reservation.

No-show meetings

A meeting room is booked but no occupancy is detected.

Stale air detection

Environmental sensors detect poor air quality in underused spaces.


How the dashboard works

Spaceti analyzes:

  • occupancy data,

  • booking information,

  • and environmental sensor data

to identify problematic workplace patterns.

Users can:

  • filter insight events,

  • analyze trends,

  • investigate historical events,

  • and export analytics data.


Before you get started

To use all insight types:

  • booking modules must be enabled,

  • occupancy sensors are required for no-show insights,

  • and environmental sensors are required for stale air insights.


What this improves

The Insights Dashboard helps organizations:

  • optimize workplace usage,

  • reduce wasted reservations,

  • improve operational visibility,

  • and make more data-driven workplace decisions.


Need help?

If insight events are missing:

  • verify sensor connectivity,

  • verify booking integrations,

  • confirm insight type availability,

  • and check building or floor filters.


Spaceti can now automatically detect offline sensors and gateways and notify administrators before missing hardware starts affecting analytics or workplace visibility.


How it works

The platform continuously monitors hardware connectivity.

If devices stop sending data for more than 24 hours:

  • weekly digest notifications are generated,

  • and critical outages can trigger immediate alerts.

Notifications can be configured:

  • organization-wide,

  • or individually per building.


Before you get started

To enable notifications:

  • supported hardware integrations are required,

  • HW notifications feature flag must be enabled,

  • and notification settings must be configured.


What this improves

This helps organizations:

  • detect hardware issues faster,

  • improve operational monitoring,

  • increase analytics reliability,

  • and reduce the risk of missing occupancy data.


Need help?

If notifications are not being received:

  • verify the HW notifications feature flag,

  • verify building participation settings,

  • confirm offline thresholds,

  • and check notification preferences.


User profile photos can now synchronize automatically from Microsoft Entra ID.


How synchronization works

When synchronization is enabled:

  • profile photos synchronize nightly,

  • Outlook and Teams photo updates automatically appear in Spaceti,

  • and manual photo uploads become disabled.


What this improves

This helps organizations maintain a more consistent employee directory experience across Microsoft and Spaceti platforms.


Administrators can now configure dedicated support email addresses for individual buildings.


Better local support routing

The configured address replaces the default support email in:

  • mobile applications,

  • kiosk mode of the map.

This helps larger organizations route support requests to the correct local team more efficiently.


Mobile applications now automatically enter restricted-access mode when a tenant license expires.


Users can still

  • switch tenant,

  • or log out.


Need help?

If users are unexpectedly restricted:

  • verify your expiration date with your account manager or support

  • confirm subscription validity

This release introduces a dedicated iPad experience optimized for modern reception and visitor workflows.

  • Improved visitor workflows

  • Optimized iPadOS experience


What this improves

Reception teams can now manage visitors more efficiently while providing a cleaner and more modern arrival experience for guests.

  • Cleaner visitor records

  • Faster Outlook scheduling workflows

Locker Usage Export

Administrators can now export locker usage data directly into CSV format from the web dashboard.


Included in the export

Currently supported for Gantner BLE lockers.

What this improves

This helps employees:

  • quickly locate workspaces,

  • find colleagues,

  • and access reservations faster.

This is especially useful for organizations relying heavily on map-based workflows.
