Create inboundFlow

Namespace: microsoft.graph.industryData

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 inboundFlow object.

The following prerequisite resources are required when you create an inboundFlow:

• dataConnector
• sourceSystemDefinition
• yearTimePeriodDefinition

This API is supported in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	❌	❌	❌

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)	IndustryData-InboundFlow.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	IndustryData-InboundFlow.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

POST /external/industryData/inboundFlows

Request headers

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

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the microsoft.graph.industryData.inboundFlow object.

You can specify the following properties when you create an inboundFlow.

Property	Type	Description
dataDomain	microsoft.graph.industryData.inboundDomain	The broad category of data that is being imported by this flow. The possible values are: educationRostering, unknownFutureValue. Required.
displayName	String	The name of the process. Inherited from industryDataActivity. Required.
effectiveDateTime	DateTimeOffset	The start of the time window when the flow is allowed to run. The Timestamp type represents date and time information using ISO 8601 format and is always in UTC time. For example, midnight UTC on Jan 1, 2014 is 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z. Required.
expirationDateTime	DateTimeOffset	The end of the time window when the flow is allowed to run. The Timestamp type represents date and time information using ISO 8601 format and is always in UTC time. For example, midnight UTC on Jan 1, 2014 is 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z. Optional.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a microsoft.graph.industryData.inboundFlow object in the response body.
