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 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 email functionality?

Nylas simplifies Microsoft Graph API integration for email functionality by providing an easy-to-use API that enables bidirectional email syncing, ensuring high reliability with a 99.6% deliverability rate. This approach allows emails to be seamlessly sent and received in user inboxes, 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, and Java, to make email integrations with our APIs easier for developers. Check out our developer documentation for more information.
