Webhook Integration

How Webhooks Work

Instead of polling with cron jobs, Microsoft Graph sends HTTP POST requests to your webhook URL when:

Webhook Lifecycle

1. Create Subscription - Tell Graph where to send notifications 2. Validation - Graph sends validation challenge, your endpoint must respond 3. Notifications - Graph sends POST requests on resource changes 4. Renewal - Subscriptions expire after 3 days max, must be renewed 5. Cleanup - Delete subscriptions when no longer needed

Setup Webhook Handler

# Start local webhook handler
node scripts/webhook-handler.js
Or use the shell script
./scripts/start-webhook.sh

Create Webhook Subscription

# New emails in inbox
node scripts/manage-webhooks.js create --resource=mail_inbox --type=created
All mailbox changes
node scripts/manage-webhooks.js create --resource=mail --type=created,updated,deleted
SharePoint file changes
node scripts/manage-webhooks.js create --resource=sharepoint --type=created,updated
Planner task changes
node scripts/manage-webhooks.js create --resource=planner --planId= --type=created,updated

Webhook Payload Example

{
  "value": [
    {
      "subscriptionId": "subscription-id-guid",
      "clientState": "your-secret-token",
      "changeType": "created",
      "resource": "users/user@domain.com/messages",
      "resourceData": {
        "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.message",
        "id": "message-id"
      },
      "subscriptionExpirationDateTime": "2026-04-22T13:52:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Webhook Validation Challenge

When you create a subscription, Graph sends a validation request:

POST /webhook/m365
Content-Type: text/plain
Validation-Token: 

Your endpoint must: 1. Detect the Validation-Token header 2. Respond with status 200 OK and the token value as plain text 3. Complete within 120 seconds

See scripts/webhook-handler.js for a reference implementation.

Auto-Renewal

Webhooks expire after 3 days maximum. Set up auto-renewal:

# Cron job example (runs every 6 hours)
0 */6 * * * cd /path/to/m365-unified && node scripts/auto-renew-webhooks.js

Getting SharePoint Site ID

# Use Graph Explorer or run:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer " \
  "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites"

Response format:

{
  "value": [
    {
      "id": "tenant.sharepoint.com,site-guid,web-guid",
      "displayName": "My Site"
    }
  ]
}

Use the full id value for M365_SHAREPOINT_SITE_ID.

Getting Planner Group ID

# List groups with Planner plans
node scripts/test-planner.js

Or use Graph Explorer:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=resourceProvisioningOptions/Any(x:x eq 'Team')

Testing

# Test connection & authentication
npm test
Test individual features
npm run test:email
npm run test:sharepoint
npm run test:onedrive
npm run test:planner
Manage webhooks
npm run webhooks:create -- --resource=mail --type=created
npm run webhooks:list
npm run webhooks:renew -- --id=
npm run webhooks:delete -- --id=

Security

Best Practices

1. Never commit .env - Already in .gitignore 2. Use app-only permissions (not delegated) for automated tasks 3. Restrict mailbox access via Azure AD app assignment 4. Rotate secrets every 12-18 months 5. Monitor sign-in logs in Azure AD regularly 6. Use HTTPS for webhook endpoints 7. Validate webhook signatures with client state secret

Mailbox Access Restrictions

By default, Mail.ReadWrite grants access to ALL mailboxes in the tenant. To restrict:

#### Option 1: Azure AD App Assignment (Recommended)

1. Azure AD → Enterprise Apps → Your App → Users and groups 2. Add ONLY the users/mailboxes that should have access 3. Remove "All users" if present

#### Option 2: Application Access Policies (Exchange PowerShell)

# Create security group with specific mailboxes
New-DistributionGroup -Name "M365AppAccess" -Type Security
Add mailboxes to group
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "M365AppAccess" -Member "user@domain.com"
Create access policy
New-ApplicationAccessPolicy -AppId "CLIENT-ID" -PolicyScopeGroupId "M365AppAccess" -AccessRight RestrictAccess

Permission Scopes Reference

| Feature | Minimum Permissions | Recommended | |---------|-------------------|-------------| | Email (read) | Mail.Read | Mail.Read | | Email (send) | Mail.Send | Mail.Send | | Email (full) | Mail.ReadWrite | Mail.ReadWrite | | SharePoint | Sites.Read.All | Sites.ReadWrite.All | | OneDrive | Files.Read.All | Files.ReadWrite.All | | Planner | Tasks.Read, Group.Read | Tasks.ReadWrite, Group.Read.All | | Webhooks | User.Read | User.Read |

Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized

Causes:

Solutions: 1. Verify all three values in .env 2. Create new client secret in Azure AD 3. Check tenant ID matches your Azure AD

403 Forbidden

Causes:

Solutions: 1. Go to Azure AD → App registrations → Your app → API permissions 2. Ensure permissions are Application type (not Delegated) 3. Click "Grant admin consent for [Tenant]" 4. Wait 5-10 minutes for propagation

404 Not Found

Causes:

Solutions: 1. Verify the resource exists in Microsoft 365 admin center 2. Check ID format (especially SharePoint: tenant.sharepoint.com,site-guid,web-guid) 3. Use Graph Explorer to test the same query

Webhooks Not Working

Common Issues:

1. Webhook URL not publicly accessible - Must be HTTPS (not HTTP) - Must be reachable from the internet (not localhost) - Use ngrok or similar for local development

2. Validation challenge fails - Endpoint must respond within 120 seconds - Response must be status 200 with token as plain text - Check clientState matches your secret

3. Subscription expires quickly - Maximum lifetime is 3 days - Set up auto-renewal cron job - Monitor expiration dates

4. No notifications received - Check resource path is correct - Verify change types match your needs - Check Azure AD app has User.Read permission minimum

Rate Limiting

Microsoft Graph uses throttling. If you hit limits:

HTTP 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 

Solutions:

Migration from m365-planner

The authentication module is compatible with existing m365-planner configurations. You can:

1. Keep both skills - Use m365-planner for tasks, m365-unified for email 2. Migrate gradually - Start with email, add Planner later 3. Merge completely - Deprecate m365-planner, use unified skill only

Same credentials work for both skills - no need to create new app registrations.
