Use Outlook 365

UiPath.Mail.Activities.Business.ExchangeApplicationCard

Selects an online Outlook 365 account to use in your automation and enables Studio to integrate with Outlook 365. After you add this activity, add the activities that work with data from the account inside Use Outlook 365. When you configure the activities added inside it, you can select data from the account directly from Studio.

Note: Due to the change to the Graph API, there may exist undocumented differences in behavior between .NET 461 and .NET 5 projects.

Configuring the Activity

In the Body of the Activity
  • Account - Select the account to use.
  • Shared mailbox to use - Uses a shared mailbox instead of the current email address. Type in an address that you can use.
  • Reference as - Enter a name by which to refer to the account in the automation project.

Selecting An Account

The way you indicate the account to use depends on whether or not the Use Connections option is selected in the Properties panel. When the option is selected, it indicates that the Integration Service in Automation Cloud manages the connection. When not selected, it indicates you are connecting using an application added to the Azure AD.

When Using the Integration Service:

Add a new account or use an account connection you already added to the Integration service.

  • If a connection does not already exist, select Add new account from the drop-down menu to add a new account connection. A browser window opens and you are prompted to select the account to use and grant the required permissions to UiPath. When the connection is created, the Default option is selected in the Account drop-down.
  • If a connection has already been added, it is automatically detected and displayed in the menu as the Default option.

When Not Using the Integration Service:

Add a new account or select an account you already added from a Use Outlook 365 activity.

  • If you choose to add a new account and the Outlook 365 application and tenant IDs are added in Orchestrator, you are prompted to sign in to your Microsoft account.
  • If you choose to add a new account and the Outlook 365 application and tenant IDs are not added in Orchestrator, the Add Exchange Account dialog box opens to help you add the account:

    • Authentication type - Select Default to use the UiPath application and tenant ID, or select My ID/Tenant to enter your organization's own application ID and tenant ID in the provided fields.
    • Click OK to sign in to your Microsoft account.
