Microsoft 365 Settings for Calendar Integration

Before integrating a Microsoft 365 calendar with modern authentication, you need to do some additional admin setup steps to configure Microsoft 365 authentication. You use Microsoft's Azure Active Directory to configure access for the Pod to communicate with the Microsoft Graph API and obtain the information needed to integrate with Solstice.

Note

These steps must be performed by a user logged into an Microsoft 365 Administrator tenant account. You create and save several pieces of information that you need to enter into Solstice Dashboard.

Note

For the most up to date instructions, refer to Microsoft's documentation to Configure an app to access a web API and Register an app.

Allow Calendar.Read Access to the Microsoft Graph API

After consent is successfully granted, a green check mark appears in the Configured Permissions table in the Status column of the Calendar.Read row.
