Outlook
The Outlook component allows Connect to work with Microsoft Outlook, a personal information manager web app consisting of webmail, calendar, contacts, and tasks services features.
API version
The Outlook component uses version 1.0 of the Microsoft Graph REST API.
Prerequisites
Credentials
To create new credentials, you need to authorize within the Microsoft system using the OAuth2 protocol.
Read the documentation on the Creating OAuth2 app page for information on how to do this.
Triggers
Contacts
This triggers a poll of all new contacts in Outlook since it was last polled.
The lastModifiedDateTime contact property provides polling.
It is possible to poll up to 900 contacts in every execution.
Poll for new mail
This triggers a poll of all new mail from a specified folder since it was last polled. The 'lastModifiedDateTime` mail property provides polling.
You can poll up to 1000 emails in every execution using default settings. This amount can only be changed by the Product team. A premium component needs to be deployed to a Contract that requires more than 1000 emails in every flow execution.
