Why teams connect Microsoft Graph and MongoDB

Keep MongoDB and Microsoft Graph in step: the rows in your database and the Groups and memberships, Mail messages (Outlook), Calendar events, Contacts your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

MongoDB is where your application's durable data lives; Microsoft Graph is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Views, Change streams, GridFS files, Databases in MongoDB 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 keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync MongoDB collections with a CRM so customer documents written by the application appear as CRM records, and CRM edits flow back as document updates.
  • 02 Replicate operational MongoDB data into a relational database, flattening nested documents into normalized tables for SQL reporting.
  • 03 Mirror OneDrive and SharePoint drive items into a data store to index documents and their metadata for search and governance.
  • 04 Read Teams channel messages and chats into a warehouse for conversation analytics and compliance archiving, and post messages back for alerts.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Microsoft Graph arrive as row changes in MongoDB, and writes to MongoDB propagate to Microsoft Graph within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Microsoft Graph manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Microsoft Graph stay matched to the users or owners table in MongoDB, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in MongoDB creates or updates the matching record in Microsoft Graph, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

What you can sync between Microsoft Graph and MongoDB

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.

Microsoft Graph objects MongoDB objects How this pairing syncs
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. GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents. Teams messages and chats is specific to Microsoft Graph and GridFS files to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Planner tasks Plans, buckets, and tasks via /planner; read and write task status, assignments, and due dates to keep project state in sync. Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection. Planner tasks is specific to Microsoft Graph and Databases to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Entra ID user accounts read and written via /users; create, update profile attributes, and enable or disable accounts with User.ReadWrite.All. Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system. Users is specific to Microsoft Graph and Collections to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups and memberships Microsoft 365 and security groups via /groups; read and write name, owners, and add/remove members, with membership deltas surfaced by delta query. Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id. Groups and memberships is specific to Microsoft Graph and Documents to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Mail messages (Outlook) Messages via /users/{id}/messages; read and create drafts, update, and send with the sendMail action, so this surface is fully read-write. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. Mail messages (Outlook) is specific to Microsoft Graph and Embedded documents and arrays to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Calendar events Outlook events via /users/{id}/events; read and write meetings, attendees, and recurrence, and accept or decline invitations. Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections. Calendar events is specific to Microsoft Graph and Indexes to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Graph and MongoDB

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.

Microsoft Graph MongoDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionMicrosoft Graph notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (change tracking) returns created, updated, and deleted items since the last deltaLink for users, groups, mail, events, contacts, and.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MongoDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MongoDB Microsoft Graph Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.

How the Microsoft Graph and MongoDB connectors work

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.
Capabilities

Rate limits
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.

MongoDB

Integration surface
MongoDB wire protocol via official drivers; Atlas additionally offers an administration REST API for cluster management
