- An active Microsoft Graph API account
- An active Slack account with permission to install apps
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Microsoft Graph API
Click "Add Connection" and select Microsoft Graph API from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Microsoft Graph API's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your dashboards, reports, and datasets. You select which data sources the integration can read.

Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: report generated in microsoft graph api or new message received in slack. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action

- Step 06
Test and activate

Frequently asked questions

For example, create a workflow where Microsoft Graph API events update Slack, and a separate one where Slack changes sync back to Microsoft Graph API. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Microsoft Graph API and Slack?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping.
