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.

Trigger Code#

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Microsoft 365 People	`microsoftOutlook`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft 365 People app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Webhook renewal timer	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Graph API expires Outlook notifications in 3 days, we auto-renew them in 2 days, see
Folder	`folderId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Microsoft 365 People uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Microsoft 365 People account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Microsoft 365 People 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 365 People API.

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

Contacts.ReadWriteUser.Reademailoffline_accessopenidprofile
