Microsoft Graph API change notifications

Namespace: microsoft.graph

The Microsoft Graph REST API can deliver change notifications to clients through various endpoints, including webhooks, Event Hubs, and Event Grid. To learn how to subscribe and receive notifications for your application, see Set up notifications for changes in user data.

An app can subscribe to changes on the Microsoft Graph resources listed in the table.

Note: Subscriptions to resources marked with an asterisk (*) are only available on the /beta endpoint.

    NOTE: Creation and soft-deletion of users also trigger the updated changeType.
  • Note: Many resources have limits or quotas on how many subscriptions can be made against that resource. When exceeding that limit, attempts to create a subscription will result in a 403 Forbidden error response. The message property of the error response will explain the limit that has been exceeded.

    Some of these resources support rich notifications (notifications with resource data). For more information about resources that support rich notifications, see Set up change notifications that include resource data.

    Note: Any resource path that begins with /users/{id} can also accept /me to reference the signed-in user.

    Permissions

    In general, subscription operations require read permission to the resource. For example, to get notifications for messages, your app needs the Mail.Read permission. The create subscription article lists permissions needed for each resource type. The following table lists the types of permissions your app can request to use webhooks for specific resource types.
