Send Mail (Activity)

• Purpose: To send emails using the Microsoft Graph API, leveraging Microsoft 365 email services (like Outlook).
  
  
• Functionality: This activity allows your workflow to send emails through Microsoft Graph. It needs to be configured with:
  • Recipient Addresses (To, CC, BCC): Email addresses of the recipients.
  • Subject: The subject line of the email.
  • Body: The content of the email message (plain text or HTML).
  • Sender (Optional): Potentially allows specifying the sender's email address (depending on permissions and configuration).
  • Attachments (Optional): May support adding file attachments to the email.
  • Access Token: Requires a valid Microsoft Graph Access Token to authenticate with the Microsoft Graph API and send the email.
  
  
• Use Cases:
  • Sending Emails via Microsoft 365: Workflows can send emails using Outlook or other Microsoft 365 email services, leveraging the capabilities of Microsoft Graph.
  • Automated Email Notifications: Send notifications, alerts, or reports via email as part of automated processes.
  • Transactional Emails through Microsoft 365: Send order confirmations, welcome emails, or other transactional emails using Microsoft Graph's email sending capabilities.
  • Leveraging Microsoft 365 Email Features: Potentially accessing advanced email features offered by Microsoft Graph, such as rich text formatting, attachments, and sender customization.

How to Use Microsoft Graph Activities:

1. Drag and drop a Microsoft Graph activity from the Microsoft Graph section onto your workflow canvas.

2. Configure the properties of the chosen activity:

• For Check for Access Token: Specify the source of the access token to check (if needed).
• For Get Authorization Url: Provide your Azure AD Application (client) ID, Redirect URI, and the required Microsoft Graph scopes.
• For Send Mail: Configure recipient addresses, subject, body, and ensure a valid Microsoft Graph Access Token is available in the workflow context.

3. Connect the Microsoft Graph activities within your workflow to integrate with Microsoft 365 services. For example:

• Use "Get Authorization Url" to initiate authentication.
• Use "Check for Access Token" to verify authentication status.
• Use "Send Mail" to send emails via Microsoft Graph, potentially after successful authentication.

4. Ensure you have properly registered an application in Azure Active Directory and configured it with the necessary Microsoft Graph permissions for your workflow to function correctly.

Save and activate your workflow. When executed, the Microsoft Graph activities will interact with the Microsoft Graph API as configured.

Benefits of Using Microsoft Graph Section:

• Microsoft 365 Integration: Provides seamless integration with Microsoft 365 services and data through the Microsoft Graph API.
• Simplified Authentication: "Get Authorization Url" and "Check for Access Token" activities help simplify the OAuth 2.0 authentication process for Microsoft Graph.
• Automated Access to Microsoft 365 Data: Workflows can access and manipulate data within Microsoft 365 services (users, emails, calendars, files, etc.) using the Microsoft Graph API.
• Enhanced Workflow Capabilities: Extends workflow capabilities by allowing integration with Microsoft 365 productivity and collaboration tools.
• Secure Access to Microsoft Graph: Leverages OAuth 2.0 and access tokens to ensure secure and authorized access to Microsoft Graph resources.

By utilizing the Microsoft Graph section activities, you can create powerful workflows that integrate deeply with Microsoft 365, automating tasks, accessing data, and leveraging the functionalities of Microsoft's cloud productivity suite.
