Namespace: microsoft.graph.externalConnectors

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a new externalItem.

This API can be used to create a custom item. The containing externalConnection must have a schema registered of the corresponding type.

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	ExternalItem.ReadWrite.OwnedBy, ExternalItem.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	ExternalItem.ReadWrite.OwnedBy, ExternalItem.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

PUT /external/connections/{connection-id}/items/{item-id}

Path parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
connection-id	string	The `id` property of the containing externalConnection
item-id	string	The developer-provided `id` property of the externalItem. If no item already exists with this `id`, a new item is created. If an item already exists with this `id`, it is overwritten by the object sent in the body.

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of an externalItem object. The payload is limited to 4 MB.

Creating an externalItem

When creating an externalItem, the following fields are required: acl, and properties. The properties object must contain at least one property.

All DateTime type properties must be in ISO 8601 format.

Properties on an externalItem should use type specifiers in the payload in the following scenarios:

For String type properties, if the value contains non-ASCII characters.

"description@odata.type": "String",
"description": "Kandierte Äpfel"

For all collection types.
```
"categories@odata.type": "Collection(String)"
"categories": [
  "red",
  "blue"
]
```
Important

When including a property of type Collection(DateTime), you must use the type specifier Collection(DateTimeOffset).

Response

If successful, this method returns 200 OK response code.

Example: Create a custom item

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.


const options = {
	authProvider,
};

const client = Client.init(options);

const externalItem = {
  acl: [
    {
      type: 'user',
      value: 'e811976d-83df-4cbd-8b9b-5215b18aa874',
