An API that connects multiple Microsoft services, enabling data access and automation across platforms
The setup steps you've outlined for integrating the Microsoft Graph API to send emails using a shared mailbox in Node.js are correct. Here’s a summary of the steps:
- Create an App Registration in the Azure Portal:
- Sign in to the Azure Portal and navigate to Azure Active Directory → App registrations.
- Click New Registration, name it (e.g., CowanReportsMailApp), and select Single Tenant.
- After registration, copy the Application (Client) ID and Directory (Tenant) ID.
- Create a Client Secret:
- Open the app you just created, go to Certificates & Secrets, and click New client secret.
- Add a description and click Add. Copy the Client Secret Value immediately as it will not be visible again.
- Add API Permission for Sending Emails:
- Go to API Permissions, click Add permission, choose Microsoft Graph, and select Application Permissions.
- Search for and add Mail.Send, then click Grant Admin Consent.
- Grant “Send As” Permission to the Shared Mailbox:
- Access the Exchange Admin Center, navigate to Recipients → Shared Mailboxes, and select the shared mailbox.
- Under Mailbox Delegation, add the Enterprise Application you created to the Send As permissions.
After completing these steps, you should confirm that the CReportsMailApp has the necessary permissions to send emails using the shared mailbox. You can then proceed to integrate the email sending functionality in your Node.js application using the Microsoft Graph API.
For the actual integration in JavaScript, you can refer to the Microsoft Graph documentation for examples on how to send emails programmatically.
