Can a MS outlook calendar meeting ping a notification that can be listened to by an external PHP app?

Question

We are building an external PHP system where we need that when a user creates an Outlook Calendar meeting, that would send a ping or some sort of notification call to our external app that will "capture" or listen to that call and it will do something with it.

Note: we are already using msgraph-sdk-php in our app, so if that has some options they could be used.

Thanks a lot for any information.

Have a great day.

Hi @(Andy) Dragos Comanescu

You can create an event subscription for your users, and you will receive notifications when your users create new calendar meetings.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions
Content-type: application/json

{
   "changeType": "created",
   "notificationUrl": "https://webhook.azurewebsites.net/api/send/myNotifyClient",
   "resource": "users/{id}/events",
   "expirationDateTime":"2023-12-20T18:23:45.9356913Z"
}

Hope this helps.
