## 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 <Icon icon="arrow-up-right" />](https://app.seminode.com/settings/connectors) in Seminode:

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

1. Sign in to the [Azure portal <Icon icon="arrow-up-right" />](https://portal.azure.com)
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 all mailboxes
   * `Mail.Send` - Send mail as any mailbox
   * `Mail.ReadWrite` - Read and write mail in all mailboxes
6. Click **Add permissions**
7. **Important**: Click **Grant admin consent** for your organization

<Tip>
  **Scoping Mailbox Access for Enterprise Customers**

  By default, granting `Mail.Read` at the application level gives the registered app access to **all mailboxes** in the Microsoft 365 tenant. For enterprise customers concerned about this, Microsoft supports **Role Based Access Control (RBAC) for Applications** in Exchange Online, which restricts the app to only specific mailboxes (e.g., the shared mailboxes created for Seminode) using management scopes or administrative units.

  This is configured entirely on the customer's side in Exchange Online — no changes are needed in Seminode. Ask your IT team to set up RBAC for Applications, scoping the app registration to only the monitored shared mailboxes.

  Reference: [RBAC for Applications in Exchange Online <Icon icon="arrow-up-right" />](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/permissions-exo/application-rbac)

  This is recommended for large enterprises or any organization with strict email data governance requirements.
</Tip>

### 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 → Connectors <Icon icon="arrow-up-right" />](https://app.seminode.com/settings/connectors)**.
2. Find the **Outlook** section.
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.

<Warning>
  Use a shared inbox email, not a personal one — emails from connected accounts are visible to all team members with inbox access.
</Warning>

<Note>
  If you don't see an **Add** button, your account may not have the connector-management permission — ask an administrator. If you don't have the Azure values yet, the empty state includes a copyable email template you can send to your IT team.
</Note>

### Managing a Configuration

Each configuration row shows a status indicator — **Connection active**, **Connection failed**, **Connector disabled**, or **Connection status unknown** — along with:

* **On/Off toggle** — enable or disable monitoring without deleting the configuration
* **Test** — verify the connection is working
* **Edit** — update any of the four configuration values
* **Delete Configuration** — remove the connection entirely

### 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`)

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

### 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.
