Announcing “Microsoft Graph Mailbag” Blog Series

Microsoft Graph Mailbag

Today we are announcing the start of the “Microsoft Graph Mailbag” blog series, where we’ll share insights, lessons learned, and useful samples for working with Microsoft Graph and related services. Our team of content authors and reviewers will publish 2 posts per month (2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month) on the Microsoft Graph blog. Each post will take 5-10 minutes to read. In the longer term we will accept suggested topics from the community, but we are primarily focusing on internally sourced topics for the first few months.

Please be sure to follow this blog series using https://aka.ms/MSGraphMailbag or with RSS using https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/blogs/feed/?tag=MSGraphMailbag.

Why is it called “Microsoft Graph Mailbag”?

Over the past decades the term “mailbag” has been used by various sources as a way for readers to submit questions / topics / etc. that the author(s) reads and then selects 1+ to answer on a regular schedule.  At the start of this blog series, we will use Microsoft Graph related questions and topics that have come up in discussions with the many partners, customers, and developers that we interact with on a daily basis.  Rather than limiting the outcomes to those 1:1 conversations to just those interactions, we think it’s really valuable to share them out as broadly as possible.

Who are we?

Our initial set of authors come from the Microsoft Graph Customer and Partner Experience (CPx) team, Microsoft 365 Cloud Developer Advocates, Customer Engineers, and more.
