Microsoft Contacts Communication API: Watch Contacts, Create a Contact

About this integration

Microsoft 365 contacts — create, update, and organize people. This integration exposes its full API as workflow modules.

The integration includes 1 trigger, 4 search modules and 6 actions. Connections use oauth or oauth authentication.

How to connect

The credential form asks for Microsoft - Tenant, Microsoft - Client ID, Microsoft - Client Secret, and Microsoft - Tenant.

OAuth asks you to approve Contacts.Read, Contacts.Read.Shared, and Contacts.ReadWrite before access is granted.

Sign in and approve access — your password is never shared with WEXTL®, and you can revoke access from the provider at any time.

Use it in workflow automation

Start with Watch Contacts, then add Create a Contact.

The canvas below runs Watch Contacts into Create a Contact — watch the video, then drop a node onto the canvas.

Select the Watch Contacts trigger and the workflow fires automatically when the event occurs — no polling required.

Then add Update a Contact Folder as the next node. Branch, filter, or hand off to other integrations from there.

The integration includes 7 ready-made modules for communication work — each run logs its inputs and outputs for debugging.
