Authentication#

Microsoft Outlook uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Microsoft Outlook account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Microsoft Outlook and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Microsoft Outlook API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

User.Reademailoffline_accessopenidprofileMail.ReadWriteMail.SendMailboxSettings.ReadWriteIMAP.AccessAsUser.AllPOP.AccessAsUser.AllSMTP.SendCalendars.ReadWriteContacts.ReadWrite
