6. Lotus Notes to Microsoft 365 migration

6.1. Create your connectors

For Cloudiway to migrate your Mailboxes, it needs to be able to communicate with both your source (Lotus Notes) and target (Office365/Exchange or Google) domains. To do this, Cloudiway uses connectors. You will need to set up a connector for each source tenant you wish to migrate and each target tenant that mail should be migrated to. Follow the steps from the page below to configure your connectors:

3. If required, click on Download sample CSV and add your users to the CSV file using the sample headers (FirstName; LastName; SourceEmail; TargetEmail; BatchName)

4. When you have a complete CSV file with the correct headers, click on the BROWSE button

5. Locate your CSV file within your own file system, and double-click on it to select it

6. Select the appropriate connectors in the Source and Target fields

7. Click on the UPLOAD button.

Option 2: Create a single user

Click on MANAGE > Create User and enter the following details:
