Qlik Cloud: Introducing OAuth2 authentication for the Microsoft 365 email provider

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

As of May 7, 2024, Qlik has released an often-requested feature: the ability to set up your Microsoft Office 365 email provider with OAuth 2.0 authentication, ensuring secure communication between Qlik Cloud and Microsoft Office 365.

How to get started

The setup is simple. If your IT wishes to use Microsoft Office 365 as your email provider for Qlik Cloud, see Configuring a Microsoft 365 email provider using OAuth2.

What to be aware of

Before using the Microsoft 365 service connection, please familiarize yourself with Microsoft’s terms of use for a single mailbox as per Limits per app ID and mailbox combination and Storage limits across standalone plans (learn.microsoft.com).

Keep Microsoft's API limits in mind before choosing your email provider. This includes requests per minute, concurrent requests, and size restrictions. Example: a capability such as Tabular Reporting can create large files as part of its reporting job creation, which may exceed Microsoft's service limits.

See Qlik Cloud: Sending email with Microsoft 365 fails for details. 

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We always look forward to your feedback.

Thank you for choosing Qlik,
Qlik Support
