Obtaining Credentials
To use this connector you will need to create an application registration.
Step 1 - Log in to Entra
By default most users will have the ability to go to https://entra.microsoft.com and log in with your user account.
Step 2 - Create the app registration
Next we are going to create an application registration so our Power Automate flow can talk directly to Exchange Online.
- When you are on the Entra Overview page, open up Identity.
- Then navigate to Applications in the left hand menu and then open up App Registrations.
- From there select New Registration.
- A new screen will open, give your new app registration a name and then click next.
Step 3 - Add API permission
We then need to give our App Registration an API Permission, This will be the permission used to talk to Exchange Online.
- In the left hand menu click on API Permission.
- Click on Add permission.
- A window will then open, select Application Permission.
- Then using the search box type in mail.send.
- The list will then filter, as it does open up the Mail option and select mail.send.
NOTE: Yes this permission lets your send emails as anyone, however we will restrict this later. DO NOT MISS USE IT IS POSSIBLE TO TRACK WHERE AN EMAIL CAME FROM.
Step 4 - Grant Admin consent
You will notice that the Grant admin consent is grayed out
This is Because we currently lack administrative roles for our account. For this next step you will need a Global Admin.
Ask a Global administrator to grant admin consent for you
