How to use IBM App Connect with Microsoft 365

Connecting to Microsoft 365

Sign in to the Microsoft account that you want to use in your integration flows.

To connect to a Microsoft 365 endpoint from the App Connect Designer Catalog page for the first time, expand Microsoft 365, then click Connect. For more information about ways to connect to Microsoft 365, see Managing accounts in App Connect.

General considerations

Before you use App Connect Designer with Microsoft 365, take note of the following considerations:

• (General consideration) You can see lists of the trigger events and actions that are available on the Catalog page of the App Connect Designer.

  For some applications, the events and actions in the catalog depend on the environment (IBM® Cloud Pak for Integration or App Connect on IBM Cloud) and whether the connector supports configurable events and dynamic discovery of actions. If the application supports configurable events, you see a Show more configurable events link under the events list. If the application supports dynamic discovery of actions, you see a Show more link under the actions list.

• (General consideration) If you are using multiple accounts for an application, the set of fields that is displayed when you select an action for that application can vary for different accounts. In the flow editor, some applications always provide a curated set of static fields for an action. Other applications use dynamic discovery to retrieve the set of fields that are configured on the instance that you are connected to. For example, if you have two accounts for two instances of an application, the first account might use settings that are ready for immediate use. However, the second account might be configured with extra custom fields.
