§ Overview
What connecting Microsoft 365 does.
SentraBridge connects through Microsoft Graph with an Entra ID app. Flows read and create calendar events on a mailbox and items in SharePoint lists, so records from other city systems show up where staff already work. Event and list data pass through without being stored.
- Calendar events: Read events on a mailbox: subject, start, end and location.
- New events: Create events on a mailbox calendar from records.
- SharePoint list items: Read and create items in a SharePoint list.
