API & Authentication

OAuth 2.0 authorization via Microsoft Graph

Outlook Calendar connects to Konnectify using OAuth 2.0. You provide your Microsoft Azure Application Client ID and Client Secret, then authorize access in Microsoft. Konnectify receives authorization tokens from Microsoft Graph and uses them to perform calendar operations without storing your Microsoft account password.

The integration requests calendar-focused permissions such as Calendars.Read, Calendars.Read.Shared, Calendars.ReadWrite, and offline_access so workflows can read calendars, manage events, work with shared calendar data, and refresh access when required.

Supported API capabilities

Read, create, update, and delete Outlook calendars.
List, create, retrieve, update, cancel, delete, accept, tentatively accept, and decline calendar events.
Retrieve availability schedules and find suggested meeting times.
Retrieve and delete related mailbox messages by message ID.
List, retrieve, and add event attachments using base64-encoded file content.

Note: Microsoft Graph permissions, tenant policies, admin consent requirements, and rate limits may vary based on your Microsoft 365 plan, Azure app configuration, and organization settings.

FAQ

How does Outlook Calendar authentication work in Konnectify?

Outlook Calendar uses OAuth 2.0 through Microsoft Graph. You provide a Microsoft Azure Client ID and Client Secret, then authorize the account in Microsoft. Konnectify uses the approved access tokens to run workflows and does not store your Microsoft account password.

Which Outlook Calendar plans are supported?

The integration is designed for Outlook Calendar accounts that can authorize Microsoft Graph calendar permissions. Feature availability can depend on your Microsoft 365 plan, tenant configuration, shared calendar permissions, and administrator consent policies.

How do Outlook Calendar triggers work?

The available Outlook Calendar triggers are polling triggers. Konnectify checks the configured calendar at regular intervals and uses a cursor to identify newly created or updated events since the last successful run.

How can I prevent duplicate events?

This integration does not include a dedicated upsert action. To prevent duplicates, store the Outlook event ID in your destination system and check for an existing record before using Create Calendar Event. For updates, use the event ID with Get Calendar Event or Update Calendar Event.

How does Konnectify handle Microsoft Graph rate limits?

Microsoft Graph may throttle requests during high-volume activity. Konnectify records execution responses so you can review failures and retry workflows where appropriate. For large workloads, consider spacing workflow runs and avoiding unnecessary list or update calls.

Can I connect multiple Outlook Calendar accounts?

Yes. You can create separate Outlook Calendar connections in Konnectify for different Microsoft accounts, tenants, or Azure app configurations, then choose the required connection while building each workflow.

Can this integration manage shared calendars and attendee responses?

The connection requests shared calendar read permissions and includes actions to accept, tentatively accept, decline, and cancel events. Actual access depends on the signed-in user’s mailbox permissions, shared calendar permissions, and Microsoft tenant policies.
