Contact Sync Via MDM

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.
