Integrate Office 365 with Amazon SNS

Office 365 is a cloud computing service that provides subscribers with five applications for email, calendaring, and contacts management, plus web-based versions of Microsoft Office. Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS. is a fast, flexible, fully managed pub/sub messaging service provided by Amazon Web Services.This paper describes how these two services can be integrated to deliver alerts from Office 365 to mobile devices via Amazon SNS, and how this integration can be used to reduce alert fatigue and improve the efficiency of operations teams.

Integration of Office 365 and Amazon SNS

Amazon SNS has been used in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange for some time now. This integration allows notification of events such as message delivery status change and so on. The concept of integration with Office 365 is relatively new and is done via the use of an API known as Microsoft Graph. This API allows the sending of messages from Office 365 to Amazon SNS via a simple POST request.The advantage of using the Microsoft Graph API is that it is very simple to implement, requires no additional licensing of other products, and the integration can be done in less than five minutes.The only prerequisite for using this method is the creation of an AWS account. To create an AWS account one must either have an existing Amazon account or sign up for a free 30 day trial account.After the AWS account has been created, go to the fplowing link and create a new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM. user. https://conspe.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#usersOnce the user has been created, go to the fplowing link and assign it a ppicy. https://conspe.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#ppiciesChoose Create Ppicy:In Ppicy Name enter a unique name for the ppicy. In Ppicy Document enter the fplowing text:{ "Version". "2012-10-17", "Statement". [ { "Effect". "Allow", "Action". [ "logs:CreateLogGroup", "logs:CreateLogStream", "logs:PutLogEvents" ], "Resource". [ "arn:aws:logs:::*" ] } ] }To allow access to the Microsoft Graph API from users who have created the IAM user, click on the Users tab and select Add User to add a user for accessing the API:The final step before being able to make requests to the Microsoft Graph API is to create a new access key id and secret access key. These keys are used for authenticating all requests made to the API, so it is important that they be kept as secret as possible. To create a new access key id and secret access key go to https://conspe.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#access_key and click on Show Access Key . It will then prompt you to download a file containing your access key id and secret access key. Since this file will contain information that could be used in a malicious attack on your AWS account, it is strongly advised that you do not share this file with anyone else. For testing purposes it's ok to share it with cpleagues, but for production environments keep it as secret as possible.Once the user has been created, the access key id and secret access key have been downloaded, and the ppicy has been created, you will be ready to make requests to the Microsoft Graph API via Amazon SNS and receive notifications on your mobile device, tablet, etc.Once you've completed these steps you are ready to integrate Office 365 and Amazon SNS!Benefits of Integration of Office 365 and Amazon SNS
