Centralized calendar management

Enhance user engagement with Microsoft calendar functionality directly into your app, maximizing convenience and usability.

Save on Microsoft Graph API integration and maintenance

Developing a Microsoft 365 integration with the Microsoft Graph API  independently, without Nylas, would demand more than 750 developer hoursfor a small to medium-sized business, excluding maintenance needs. This figure escalates as your user base and feature set grow. 

Take into account the time and expenses associated with supporting the following tasks:

  • Configuring the infrastructure to allow users to grant your application access to their data securely.
  • Building, testing, and implementing calendar synchronization to manage time zones, invitation responses, and recurring events.
  • Handling ongoing maintenance for security, infrastructure, UI, and logging.
  • Building timely data deletion and export capabilities to comply with GDPR or qualify for SOC 2 certification and other security-related tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the Microsoft Outlook API and Microsoft Graph API?

The Microsoft Outlook API focuses solely on Outlook services and is being phased out in favor of the Microsoft Graph API, which provides access to a wider range of Microsoft services, including Office 365 and Windows 10. Microsoft Graph also integrates more seamlessly with other Microsoft services, offers broader API versions, and supports more features. However, some specific functionalities are still in development or available only in beta.

What are the challenges with using the Microsoft Graph API?

Integrating email and calendar with the Microsoft Graph API can be complex due to its detailed and expansive nature, requiring developers to navigate intricate authentication and authorization processes. Additionally, ensuring consistent performance across different Microsoft services adds to the challenge. Nylas offers a solution by abstracting these complexities and providing a simpler, unified API for email integration that works seamlessly with the Microsoft Graph API and other email services, streamlining development and reducing integration time.

How does Nylas simplify Microsoft Graph API integration for calendar functionality?

Nylas simplifies Microsoft Graph API integration for calendar functionality by providing an easy-to-use API that enables seamless access, manipulation, and synchronization of calendar data. This approach allows for efficient management of calendar events, bypassing the complexities typically associated with direct Graph API integrations.

What languages does Nylas support when integrating with the Microsoft Graph API?

Nylas offers SDKs in several programming languages, including Python, Ruby, Node.js, Kotlin, and Java, to make email integrations with our APIs easier for developers. Check out our developer documentation for more information.
