Microsoft 365 People Overview#

The Microsoft 365 People API lets you tap into your organization's contact data, providing access to people's info within your Microsoft 365 domain. With this API, you can search for users and contacts, discover relationships, and construct rich profiles that include contact information, organizational hierarchies, and photo URLs. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate contact management tasks, enhance CRM data, or trigger actions based on changes in your organization's personnel.
