Contact Sync Via MDM

[MilanVuletic]

Hello,

as our company continues to grow so does the amount of phones and contacts. We have just started to implement Meraki MDM on our phones. Is there a way to sync icloud and/or outlook contacts via meraki? Currently we are syncing contacts thru outlook and a plugin called codetwo but we are having issues when it comes to the email addresses in the iphone contacts list displaying correctly. 

I see in MDM setting there is a setting for "contacts" but looks like it needs a host, username, password etc. 

Thank you in advance

I haven't seen such an option.

Outlook normally syncs contacts automatically with the email provider if you enable that option in Outlook.

@MilanVuletic the below documentation should explain how the contacts payload works however its not present on the page, I have asked @CameronMoody to update this if possible.

Apple has a support document on what is supported as far as Apple is concerned with a contacts payload.
