Why teams connect GitHub and Microsoft Graph

Connect the tickets, records, and events in GitHub to the systems engineering runs in Microsoft Graph, kept current in real time and in both directions.

GitHub is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Microsoft Graph is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories in GitHub with Groups and memberships, Mail messages (Outlook), Calendar events, Contacts in Microsoft Graph field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror repository, PR, and workflow-run data into a Postgres database for engineering-metrics reporting.
  • 02 Sync organization and team membership with an identity or HR system to automate access reviews and offboarding.
  • 03 Read Teams channel messages and chats into a warehouse for conversation analytics and compliance archiving, and post messages back for alerts.
  • 04 Sync Planner tasks two-way with a project or ticketing database so task status, assignments, and due dates stay consistent.

Common sync patterns

Where Microsoft Graph is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in GitHub stay matched to the users in Microsoft Graph, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

Where Microsoft Graph watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from GitHub replicate into Microsoft Graph, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

What you can sync between GitHub and Microsoft Graph

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

GitHub objects Microsoft Graph objects How this pairing syncs
Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. Users Entra ID user accounts read and written via /users; create, update profile attributes, and enable or disable accounts with User.ReadWrite.All. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. Calendar events Outlook events via /users/{id}/events; read and write meetings, attendees, and recurrence, and accept or decline invitations. Organizations and Teams is specific to GitHub and Calendar events to Microsoft Graph — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Contacts Personal Outlook contacts via /users/{id}/contacts; full create, read, update, delete, synced two-way with CRM person records. Labels and Milestones is specific to GitHub and Contacts to Microsoft Graph — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint) Files and folders via /drives and /me/drive; read and write items, upload and download content, and read per-item metadata. Repositories is specific to GitHub and Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint) to Microsoft Graph — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Teams messages and chats Channel messages and chats via /teams/{id}/channels and /chats; read message history and post new messages for alerts and archiving. Issues is specific to GitHub and Teams messages and chats to Microsoft Graph — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. Planner tasks Plans, buckets, and tasks via /planner; read and write task status, assignments, and due dates to keep project state in sync. Pull Requests is specific to GitHub and Planner tasks to Microsoft Graph — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between GitHub and Microsoft Graph

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

GitHub Microsoft Graph Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Microsoft Graph through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.
  • Microsoft Graph: Throttled per app and per tenant, returning HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header; limits vary by service — the Outlook mail service allows about 10,000 requests per 10 minutes per app per mailbox with up to 4 concurrent requests, and delta and subscription tokens expire and must be renewed.

Microsoft Graph

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph unified REST API (v1.0 and beta) at graph.microsoft.com, spanning Microsoft 365 services — Entra ID, Outlook mail and calendar, OneDrive and SharePoint, Teams, and Planner; supports JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Mail.ReadWrite, Calendars.ReadWrite, Files.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All, and Group.ReadWrite.All; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
Change detection
Delta query (change tracking) returns created, updated, and deleted items since the last deltaLink for users, groups, mail, events, contacts, and driveItems; change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire.
