What You Can Do with Microsoft Entra ID API

By effectively combining the Microsoft Entra ID API with external application APIs, you can automate the addition of new users, deletion of users, and issuance of Microsoft accounts.
This can help prevent the registration of incorrect information and reduce the risk of information leaks.

Among these, the most in-demand feature is the addition of new users utilizing Microsoft Entra ID.
For example, through APIs of external applications like freee HR and SmartHR, you can automatically add users when an employee is registered, reducing manual effort.

The next most in-demand feature is user deletion.
For instance, when an employee is deleted from platforms like KAO Navi or freee HR, the user can also be automatically deleted from Microsoft Entra ID.
This helps prevent user deletion oversights and enhances security.

Who Should Consider Using the Microsoft Entra ID API

  • Those who want to integrate and automate Microsoft Entra ID with HR systems
  • Those who want to automate user information synchronization
  • HR personnel looking to streamline employee onboarding
  • Those who want to prevent account deletion oversights

How to Use the Microsoft Entra ID API

This time, we will use a service called Yoom to utilize the Microsoft Entra ID API without coding.

How to Connect Microsoft Entra ID with Yoom

Setting Up My App Integration

Register your app to connect it with Yoom.
Log in to Yoom and click "My Apps" → "New Connection" on the left side of the Yoom screen.

A list of apps that can be connected with Yoom will be displayed. Search for "Microsoft Entra ID" using the search box at the top.
Enter "Microsoft Entra ID" in the search box and click on Microsoft Entra ID.

When the following screen appears, log in to Microsoft Entra ID.

If Microsoft Entra ID is displayed in your My Apps section, the registration is complete.
By registering in My Apps, you can now use all the APIs provided by Microsoft Entra ID from Yoom!

Master the Microsoft Entra ID API Using Yoom Templates!

Yoom offers many "Flowbot Templates" that allow you to use numerous flowbots with just a click.
Flowbots are introduced in detail in the video below.

From here, we will introduce the templates that are actually prepared for each recommended job type and actual usage scene.

Examples of Automation Achievable with the Microsoft Entra ID API

In addition to the flow introduced this time, using the Microsoft Entra ID API can achieve automation of various tasks.
All can be used with simple settings, so if you find something interesting, please give it a try!

Automatically Add New Users

This is an example of automatically adding new users to Microsoft Entra ID when employee information is registered in an external application.
If you register data in the HR cloud system before the employee joins, they can start work smoothly from their first day.

When an application is approved or the status is updated in an external application, it is also possible to add users in Microsoft Entra ID.
This can be particularly useful for recruitment applications before new employees join the company.

When data is added in an external application, users can be automatically added to a group in Microsoft Entra ID.
For example, when employee information is registered in a Google Spreadsheet, users can be added to a group in Microsoft Entra ID, which can be useful for organizing project teams and managing permissions by department.

Automatically Delete Users

By utilizing Microsoft Entra ID, you can automatically delete users from Microsoft Entra ID by triggering actions from external applications.
For example, when an employee is deleted in systems like Kaonavi or freee HR, the corresponding user in Microsoft Entra ID can be automatically deleted, thereby reducing security risks.

Automatically Issue Microsoft Accounts

Manually issuing accounts as usual can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but utilizing automation can reduce the burden.

Benefits of Integrating Microsoft Entra ID

1. Reduce Manual Work

When employees are registered, they are automatically reflected in Microsoft Entra ID, simplifying the addition of email addresses and passwords.
This allows for a smooth start to work from the first day of employment if data is registered in the HR cloud system before the employee joins.
For example, when an application is approved or a status is updated, users can be added to Microsoft Entra ID, eliminating the need to manually register employee data.
This can be particularly useful for recruitment applications before new employees join.

2. Enhanced Security

A major benefit of this automation is enhanced security.
If accounts remain after employees leave, the risk of information leakage increases.
However, by deleting or updating employee data, users can be automatically removed, preventing such risks.
Furthermore, API integration allows for automatic synchronization of user deletions between different systems, preventing manual deletion errors or omissions.

3. Smooth Account Issuance Without Burden

Issuing accounts manually as usual can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but automation can reduce this burden.
A specific use case is the onboarding process for new employees.
When employees are registered in the HR system, Microsoft accounts are automatically issued, reducing the workload of account creation.
This reduces the burden on HR personnel and allows new employees to use Office 365 from day one.

Conclusion

Utilizing the Microsoft Entra ID API and external application APIs may streamline user management for companies.
Automating new user registration and account issuance reduces manual errors and prevents the risk of incorrect registration.
Additionally, automating the deletion of accounts for former employees can reduce security risks.

Yoom's automation can be easily implemented by anyone without the need for complex code input.
Try using the templates introduced here to streamline your daily operations.

I've been working as a writer since my job in child welfare, and I'm currently writing a blog on Yoom. While being surprised by the work efficiency improvements that can be made with Yoom, I would like to share that excitement with everyone and contribute to society. I'll tell you about application integration and automation that even I, who has zero programming knowledge, can do.
