Azure Graph API Configuration

To monitor your company’s email inbox for quoting activities, you’ll need to configure Microsoft Graph API access. Follow these steps to obtain the required configuration values for your Outlook Email Integration in Seminode:

​
Step 1: Register an Application in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal
  2. Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID > App registrations
  3. Click New registration
  4. Enter an application name (e.g., “Seminode Email Monitor”)
  5. Select Accounts in this organizational directory only
  6. Click Register

​
Step 2: Get Client ID and Tenant ID

After registering your application:
  1. On the application Overview page, copy the Application (client) ID
    • This is your Client ID
  2. Also copy the Directory (tenant) ID
    • This is your Tenant ID

​
Step 3: Create Client Secret

  1. In your app registration, go to Certificates & secrets
  2. Click New client secret
  3. Add a description (e.g., “Seminode API Secret”)
  4. Select an expiration period
  5. Click Add
  6. Important: Copy the secret Value immediately
    • This is your Client Secret
    • You won’t be able to see it again once you navigate away

​
Step 4: Configure API Permissions

  1. Go to API permissions in your app registration
  2. Click Add a permission
  3. Select Microsoft Graph
  4. Choose Application permissions
  5. Add the following permissions:
    • Mail.Read - Read mail in mailbox
    • User.Send - Send mail from mailbox
  6. Click Add permissions
  7. Important: Click Grant admin consent for your organization

​
Step 5: Confirm the Monitored Mailbox

  1. Verify that the mailbox you want to monitor exists in your Microsoft 365 tenant.
    • This can be a user mailbox (e.g., someone’s account) or a shared mailbox (e.g., quotes@company.com).
  2. Use the primary SMTP address of that mailbox (e.g., quotes@company.com) as the Monitored Email Address when filling out the configuration form.

​
Step 6: Enter Values in Seminode

  1. In the Seminode app, go to Settings → Company.
  2. Scroll down to Outlook Email Integration.
  3. Click + Add to open the Create Graph API Configuration form.
  4. Paste the values you collected:
    • Client ID
    • Tenant ID
    • Client Secret
    • Monitored Email Address (e.g., quotes@company.com)
  5. Toggle Enable this configuration if you want it active immediately.
  6. Click Create to save.
Once saved, Seminode will begin monitoring the specified mailbox for quoting emails.

​
Required Configuration Values

Once you’ve completed the above steps, you’ll have four values to enter in the configuration form:
  • Client ID: Application (client) ID from Step 2
  • Tenant ID: Directory (tenant) ID from Step 2
  • Client Secret: Secret value from Step 3
  • Monitored Email Address: The mailbox you want to track (e.g., quotes@company.com)
Keep your Client Secret secure and never share it publicly. Store it safely as you won’t be able to retrieve it from Azure once you navigate away from the secrets page.

​
Next Steps

With these values configured, your Seminode platform will be able to monitor your company’s email inbox for quoting activities and automatically process relevant communications with your supply chain partners.
