Use Cases

Why integrate with Microsoft 365

Common scenarios for SaaS companies building Microsoft 365 integrations for their customers.

01

Sync your customer's corporate directory for identity-aware features

SaaS platforms offering role-based access, audit trails, or org-chart visualizations can pull Users, Roles, and Licenses from Microsoft Entra ID via the Unified User Directory API — giving their product accurate, up-to-date identity context without asking customers to manually upload CSVs.

02

Connect to SharePoint and OneDrive for document-centric workflows

Any SaaS product that touches customer documents — contract management, compliance, AI search — can read and write Drive-Items, manage Permissions, and browse Drives through the Unified File Storage API, so end users never have to leave your app to find their files.

03

Power real-time collaboration through Microsoft Teams messaging

SaaS companies building project management, incident response, or helpdesk tools can create Channels, post Messages, and manage Members inside their customers' Teams workspaces via the Unified Instant Messaging API, keeping stakeholders informed without context switching.

04

Surface SharePoint intranet content inside your product

Knowledge management and enterprise search platforms can ingest Pages, Spaces, and Page-Content from SharePoint sites through the Unified Knowledge Base API to power search indexes, RAG pipelines, or content dashboards that reflect the customer's internal knowledge base.

05

Automate IT ticketing workflows tied to Microsoft 365 accounts

Helpdesk and ITSM SaaS products can create and manage Tickets, track priorities, and resolve issues using the Unified Ticketing API while correlating tickets to Microsoft 365 user identities — enabling automated routing, SLA tracking, and self-service IT support inside Teams.

What You Can Build

Ship these features with Truto + Microsoft 365

Concrete product features your team can ship faster by leveraging Truto’s Microsoft 365 integration instead of building from scratch.

01

Automated user provisioning from Entra ID

Read Users, Roles, and Licenses from Microsoft Entra ID via the Unified User Directory API to automatically provision and deprovision accounts in your product when customers' directories change.

02

One-click OneDrive and SharePoint file picker

Let end users browse Drives and attach Drive-Items from their OneDrive or SharePoint document libraries directly into your app's workflows using the Unified File Storage API.

03

Teams channel notifications for key events

Post rich Messages to a customer's Microsoft Teams Channels via the Unified Instant Messaging API whenever important events happen in your product — ticket updates, deal closures, deployment alerts.

04

Permission-aware enterprise search index

Ingest Drive-Items and their Permissions alongside Knowledge Base Pages and Spaces to build a search experience that respects each user's Microsoft 365 access controls.

05

Cross-platform ticket sync with Microsoft 365 context

Create and update Tickets via the Unified Ticketing API while enriching them with user profile data from the Unified User Directory API for smarter routing and prioritization.

06

SSO-powered app user mapping

Use the Unified Single Sign-On API to map App Users and Apps to your product's internal accounts, streamlining onboarding for organizations that authenticate everything through Microsoft.

How It Works

From zero to integrated

Go live with Microsoft 365 in under an hour. No boilerplate, no maintenance burden.

01

Link your customer’s Microsoft 365 account

Use Truto’s frontend SDK to connect your customer’s Microsoft 365 account. We handle all OAuth and API key flows — you don’t need to create the OAuth app.

02

We handle authentication

Don’t spend time refreshing access tokens or figuring out secure storage. We handle it and inject credentials into every API request.

03

Call our API, we call Microsoft 365

Truto’s Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Microsoft 365 API. You call us, we call Microsoft 365, and pass the response back in the same cycle.

04

Unified response format

Every response follows a single format across all integrations. We translate Microsoft 365’s pagination into unified cursor-based pagination. Data is always in the result attribute.

FAQs

Common questions about Microsoft 365 on Truto

Authentication, rate limits, data freshness, and everything else you need to know before you integrate.

How does authentication work for Microsoft 365 integrations through Truto?

Truto handles the full OAuth 2.0 flow with Microsoft Entra ID. Depending on the use case, your customers' end users can authenticate with delegated permissions (accessing only their own data) or a tenant admin can grant app-only permissions for organization-wide access. Truto manages token refresh and storage so you don't have to.

Which Microsoft 365 services are covered by Truto's Unified APIs?

Truto maps Microsoft 365 data across multiple Unified APIs: User Directory (Entra ID users, roles, licenses), File Storage (OneDrive and SharePoint drives, files, permissions), Instant Messaging (Teams workspaces, channels, messages, members), Knowledge Base (SharePoint pages and sites), Ticketing, Single Sign-On, HRIS (employee data), and Search. The underlying data comes primarily from the Microsoft Graph API.

How does Truto handle Microsoft Graph API rate limits and pagination?

Truto abstracts away Microsoft Graph's throttling and pagination. API responses are automatically paginated using cursor-based pagination, and Truto manages retry logic with exponential backoff when Graph returns 429 (Too Many Requests) responses, so your application doesn't need to implement this directly.

Can I access both delegated (per-user) and app-only (tenant-wide) data?

Yes. Truto supports both permission models. Delegated access is ideal when your end user connects their own Microsoft 365 account to access their personal files or calendar. App-only access is used when a tenant admin grants your app broad permissions to sync the entire corporate directory, all SharePoint sites, or all Teams channels across the organization.

What if I need a Microsoft 365 capability that isn't in the current Unified API resources?

Truto builds integration tooling on request. If you need access to Microsoft 365 data or actions — such as Outlook email, calendar events, or Planner tasks — that aren't yet mapped to a Unified API resource, Truto's team can add support. You can also use Truto's proxy mode to call any Microsoft Graph endpoint directly while still benefiting from Truto-managed auth.

Does Truto support real-time change detection from Microsoft 365?

Microsoft Graph supports webhooks (change notifications) and delta queries for incremental data sync. Truto can leverage these mechanisms to keep your data fresh without full re-syncs, reducing API call volume and ensuring near-real-time updates for resources like users, drive items, and messages.
