First Microsoft Graph API integrations available on the DX!

[ewilson]

Hi Folks,

Just a heads-up that we've added our first 3 Microsoft Graph API integrations to the DX:

Microsoft Graph for Excel
Microsoft Graph for OneNote
Microsoft Graph for Users

Next, we'll be working on integrations for SharePoint, Teams, and Outlook.
 
Cheers,

@Mat,

Thank you for the details regarding the authentication. We'll get it sorted shortly.

On the permissions side, the answer is "It depends". The required permissions are directly tied to what you plan to do with the specific Graph integration. As an example, if you're using the Outlook integration and all you want to do is read emails from your inbox then you'd only need Mail.Read whereas if you planned to create emails too then you'd need something like Mail.ReadWrite and Mail.Send. If you're working with a shared mailbox, you'd need somethig like Mail.Read.Shared, Mail.ReadWrite.Shared​, and/or Mail.Send.Shared.

We'll get some further details added to the documentation with some specific examples, but in the meantime your best option is to review the Microsoft documentation regarding permissions. Some great references include:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/overview?view=graph-rest-1.0&preserve-view=true

Cheers,

@ewilson that's really useful actually I'll look at their documentation.

Just a thought, in the documentation you have a list of each action with in/out parameters. Perhaps it's worth also including the required permission name(s) in Azure for ​that action to work. 

I'll take a look at those Microsoft Docs and get back to our infra admins.  Hopefully not too much trial and error. 

Thank you!

Hi @ewilson,

Recently we have checked out the SharePoint Graph API object, currently available on the Blue Prism DX.
We however have noticed that this object seems to only support endpoints for dealing with SharePoint lists and sites.

We therefore were wondering whether Blue Prism does have plans  on expanding this object in the near future with File Management actions (such as for example, get files, copy file, upload file, etc.)? If yes, are you able to provide us with an expected release timeframe for this update?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Arthur93,

Yes, there will be additional functionality coming related to handling files. Microsoft documents these features under a different section of the Graph API  documentation, specifically Files as opposed to Sites. Not sure on the timing of when we'll have this posted though.

Cheers,

Thanks,

Hi Eric, I am having a hard time to work with Sharepoint Upload Sessions. I can create upload session without any issue. Unfortunately, I am not able to upload the chunks later. It always ends up with 401 error. After going thru Graph documentation, I thought it maybe because PUT request shouldn't contain auth header, so I removed it. But still getting 401 error. Any idea what might be the reason? Thank you!

Hi @MatejKubiš,

It looks like there is a bug in the SharePoint Upload Session asset. We will be addressing this shortly. I will let you now when we have a fix posted, if you're not specifically subscribed to the asset for updates.

Cheers,
