We have been extensively using graph API's and Bookings and have a request for scheduling group sessions through Bookings. Currently, we think we can only do this by recursively generating a booking for each person. We would like to be able to specify a list in the JSON when creating it.
Use Case is for a group therapy session that will have multiple people.
Part two of the request is to be able to publish a booking event and allow multiple external users to sign up to attend.
All tips and guidance welcome.
Thanks!
Create an Azure AD based application and choose the Identity flow suits you
Get the access token from Azure AD
With the token make Graph API calls (Bookings/Calendar) based on your application logic and send to multiple participants...
In addition, even you can think about considering Azure A2C scenario as well, so that you can allow multiple external users to sign up to attend.
You confirmed that you're trying the BETA version of the Bookings graph API Batch calls
and that seems to be working.

I'm trying to understand if the Quickbooks API provides the ability to retrieve data of a users' clients and THEIR associated data.
The scenario would be as follows: API works with multiple accounting firms and the firms have clients with Journal Entries, etc etc.
In QBO Accounting, you can access all of your clients and do what you need.
Based on everything I've seen in the developer documentation, it seems that the APIs simply allow me to pull my own QBO data, not data of any clients that I may have access to. Am I understanding this correctly?
Answering my own question, yes you can access your company's client data. This happens through the oauth2 flow. Thanks!
I am stumped trying to find a similar idea on how we can achieve this.
We are currently using a model-driven power app/Dataverse to house school applications. Once an application is submitted, our representatives will begin updating the application record "Application Status" custom field as they are going through the various steps.
Our partner wants to create a external website (just simple HTML/CSS/JavaScript) to display an application lookup where applicants can type in their application ID or send applicants direct-links to view the status of their application. (example: domain.com/application-status/?appid=1234)
This external, public website would have to connect to our dataverse/power app via the web api to make the request and display it to the applicant searching/viewing the website.
How can this be achieved? All I have read is that the user looking up data will need to have a Microsoft account and authenticated in our environment to view the data.
Can someone point me in the right direct on how to get this done (article or existing thread). Your help is highly appreciated.
This is normally being handled by the use of a PowerPlatform Portal.
Portals are designed to allow interactions with B2B/B2C.
This is, however, a hefty price tag.
Another way is to make your website use Rest API calls to your Dataverse tables.
To enable these, you need to create a client application registration in Azure and add this application user in your environment as an application user. Once registered, assign the appropriate rights(Sysadmin, Syscustomizer, whatever you want) and you can access your environment in two steps:
Generate an access token based on the scope of your environment, client id, and client secret.
Use the access token your application user has given to do your CRUD operations.
When you view document folders in a SharePoint online site you have the ability to configure email alerts on folders based on when items are added or deleted. Can I do the same thing via the Microsoft Graph API? If this is not possible now, is there any plan to add this to the API in the near future? The only workaround I have been able to come up with involves using the Delta API to poll for changes periodically, but that requires a lot of processing as the Delta API is not very granular.
You do this using webhooks and registering a subscription against the resource you want to monitor.
See Using webhooks to receive service-to-service notifications for details and examples of how this works.
Office 365 administration center allows to create organizational contacts which are shared with all users in organization.
In MS Graph documentation API of this functionality is badly documented and located in BETA section. Moreover, there is no command to create such a contact: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/beta/resources/orgcontact
It looks like in Graph this functionality was not implemented. Using typical POST request to the /beta/contacts ends with an error response in Json structure: Unsupported resource type 'Contact' for operation 'Create'.
Note 1: I don't have any user logged in. My application uses service/daemon authentication.
Is there any other way to create organizational contact?
At this time, creating new orgContact objects isn't supported by the Graph API. You also cannot create organizational contacts with the Azure AD Graph API. For more information about organizational contacts, including how they are created in your tenant, see the Contact Entity documentation.
Organization Contacts are documented in the beta section because this API is in fact still in beta. I'm sorry you ran into issues here but with any beta endpoint there is always likelihood of missing/broken features and sparse documentation. There is also a substantial likelihood of breaking changes being rolled out to beta endpoints. As such, we do not recommend using them in production scenarios.
https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/ seems to be built on top of the Azure AD graph - https://graph.windows.net/
I haven't found a lot of how graph.microsoft.io was built, but it seems like it is a superset of the original Azure AD API, together with the stuff to access data from Office 365 through the graph.
What stands out to me is that either they would have passed through queries from graph.microsoft.io to graph.windows.net or they would have rebuilt it all from scratch. So, I'm trying to understand how to build my own such graph. I will use Azure AD, which will enable my authentication and authorization. It will give me a graph of the users in my organization. But for custom applications that also use Azure AD for login, I would like them to be available via the graph, like how the Office 365 apps are available via the graph.microsoft.io site.
So far, to implement something similar, it seems like I can use the core Azure AD graph for a specific set of user data, and for apps that use the Azure AD instance that I provide, I can require them to implement an Odata endpoint which describes how their own data can be accessed.
Is this a good approach?
It's certainly pretty much exactly what we do, so who am I to argue. However, rather than going to Azure AD directly for the graph of users in your org, I'd encourage you to go to MS Graph for that data, as we'll be looking to add richness and functionality there rather than in the underlying AAD Graph as time marches on, and also it will enable you to link across easily to other Office apps of course.
Over time, we'd like you not to have to do this, but rather to bring your own apps' data into the Microsoft Graph in some fashion, but we are a ways away from having that facility available.
