externalItem: addActivities

Namespace: microsoft.graph.externalConnectors

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Append additional instances of externalActivity objects on an externalItem.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	Not supported.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	ExternalItem.ReadWrite.OwnedBy, ExternalItem.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

POST external/connections/{connectionsId}/items/{externalItemId}/addActivities

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the parameters.

The following table shows the parameters that can be used with this action.

Parameter	Type	Description
activities	microsoft.graph.externalConnectors.externalActivity collection	Collection of activities that involve an externalItem.

Response

If successful, this action returns a 200 OK response code and a collection of microsoft.graph.externalConnectors.externalActivityResult objects in the response body.

A 207 Multi-Status response code indicates that only some of the added externalActivity instances were successfully processed. The caller should inspect the response payload, looking at the error field for each externalActivityResult to determine why the externalActivity instance was not processed and what action can be taken. A null error property indicates a successful externalActivityResult.
