SAP Open Connectors supports events via polling or webhooks depending on the API provider. For more information about our Events framework, see Events Overview.
Supported Events and Resources
SAP Open Connectors supports webhook events for Microsoft Graph. After receiving an event, SAP Open Connectors standardizes the payload and sends an event to the configured callback URL of your authenticated connector instance. For more information about webhooks at Microsoft including the currently available webhooks, see their webhooks documentation.
Configure Webhooks Through the UI
To configure webhooks through the UI, follow the same steps to authenticate a connector instance, and then turn on events. For more information, see Authenticate an Connector Instance with Events (UI) or the connector-specific authentication topic.
Configure Webhooks Through API
Use the /instances
endpoint to authenticate with Microsoft and create a connector instance with webhooks enabled.
To authenticate a connector instance with webhooks:
- Get an authorization grant code by completing the steps in Getting a redirect URL and Authenticating users and receiving the authorization grant code.
Construct a JSON body as shown below (see Parameters):
{ "element": { "key": "microsoftgraph" }, "providerData": { "code": "<AUTHORIZATION_GRANT_CODE>" }, "configuration": { "oauth.callback.url": "<CALLBACK_URL>", "oauth.api.key": "<CONSUMER_KEY>", "oauth.api.secret": "<CONSUMER_SECRET>", "oauth.scope": "Calendars.Read Calendars.ReadWrite offline_access", "event.notification.enabled": true, "event.notification.callback.url": "<CALLBACK_URL>" }, "tags": [ "<Add_Your_Tag>" ], "name": "<INSTANCE_NAME>" }
Call the following, including the JSON body you constructed in the previous step:
POST /instances
Note: Make sure that you include the User and Organization keys in the header. For more information, see Authorization Headers, Organization Secret, and User Secret.Locate the
token
andid
in the response and save them for all future requests using the connector instance.
