Microsoft Outlook Overview#

The Microsoft Outlook API on Pipedream allows you to automate email-related tasks, manage calendars, and handle contacts effortlessly. With the API, you can trigger workflows on new emails, send emails programmatically, and synchronize calendars across platforms, among other functions. Pipedream's serverless platform facilitates the connection between Outlook and a myriad of other apps for efficient automation workflows.

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 Outlook	`microsoftOutlook`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft Outlook 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 IDs to Monitor	`folderIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger 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

About Microsoft Outlook#

MeisterTask Overview#

MeisterTask's API enables automation of task management processes, offering a programmatic way to interact with your tasks and projects. By leveraging the API with Pipedream, you can create powerful, serverless workflows that react to events in MeisterTask, manipulate tasks and projects, or synchronize data across multiple platforms. It's a robust tool for enhancing productivity and streamlining project collaboration.
