Use Microsoft 365 Steps in Torq

Step One: Create a Microsoft 365 Application

  1. In Microsoft Azure: Go to your Azure portal and click App Registrations.

  2. New Application: Click New registration and fill out the information.

    1. Go to Add a permission, and click Microsoft Graph.

    2. Click Application permissions.

    3. See our extensive Microsoft Permissions document for details. The permissions you enable depend on your integration's purpose—Outlook, OneDrive, and general Microsoft 365 steps each require different permissions. While some overlap exists, it's best to enable only the permissions needed for each integration and application.

    4. The Microsoft 365 integration is for application-level permissions. For delegated access permissions, see the Microsoft 365 Delegated Access integration.

  5. Grant Consent: Click Grant admin consent for {your org name}.

    1. Application (client) ID

    2. Directory (tenant) ID

  7. Client Secret: In your application, go to Certificates & secrets and click New Client Secret.

    1. Give the secret an accurate description.

    2. Set the expiration date. It is recommended that you use a custom date in the extended future (but in compliance with your organization's policies).

    3. Click Add.

    4. Copy the generated secret.

Step Two: Create a Microsoft 365 Steps Integration in Torq

  1. Navigate to Integration: Go to Build > Integrations > Steps > Microsoft 365 and click Add.

  2. Fill in the Details: Follow the following steps to fill in the information.

    1. Give the integration a unique and meaningful name.

    2. Paste the Tenant ID you retrieved earlier.

    3. Paste the Client ID you retrieved earlier.

    4. Paste the Client Secret you retrieved earlier.

  3. Finalize: Click Add to save.

Step Three: Use the Integration in Torq Steps

  • To use Microsoft 365 steps in Torq, you must first add the Microsoft 365 step Generate Access Token.

  • Then, reference the generated access token in the following steps as {{$.generate_access_token.api_object.access_token}}.
