Sync Azure Active Directory Users with our App (custom mobile app made with React Native and NestJs(Typescript)).

Question

Hi, my name is Omar and I have this query regarding the Azure Active Directory.

I need to sync between our Azure Active Directory and our Application (mobile App). Whenever we create users in Azure AD, we need to use some sort of webhook (In which we will provide an https end point of our app), that will send us the user details and accordingly on that provided webhook. We will register that user in our app. Is this possible with the subscription. Actually I asked someone this, he said maybe I would be able to achieve this with the webhook, but to make sure I need to ask someone over here in this forum. Please help!

Note: We have our app hosted on-premises.

Thank you

You can achieve this by using SCIM. Azure AD supports SCIM.
Azure AD Provisioning Service provisions users to SaaS apps and other systems by connecting to a System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) 2.0 user management API endpoint provided by the application vendor.
This SCIM endpoint allows Azure AD to programmatically create, update, and remove users.

You can refer below articles to know more about SCIM and its configuration.
