Why teams connect Microsoft Graph and Neo4j

Keep Neo4j and Microsoft Graph in step: the rows in your database and the Contacts, Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint), Teams messages and chats, Planner tasks your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Neo4j 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 Properties, Labels, Indexes & Constraints, Databases in Neo4j with Contacts, Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint), Teams messages and chats, Planner tasks 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 Keep a customer-360 graph continuously updated from ERP, CRM, and support sources.
  • 02 Mirror CRM accounts and contacts into a graph to model buying-group and referral relationships.
  • 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

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

Read and write the synced tables in Neo4j and Stacksync keeps Microsoft Graph current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Microsoft Graph arrive as row changes in Neo4j, and writes to Neo4j 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 Neo4j, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

What you can sync between Microsoft Graph and Neo4j

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 Neo4j objects How this pairing syncs
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. Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs. Groups and memberships is specific to Microsoft Graph and Databases to Neo4j — 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. Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify. Mail messages (Outlook) is specific to Microsoft Graph and Users & Roles to Neo4j — 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. Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes. Calendar events is specific to Microsoft Graph and Nodes to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Personal Outlook contacts via /users/{id}/contacts; full create, read, update, delete, synced two-way with CRM person records. Relationships Typed, directed edges that carry the connections syncs exist to model. Contacts is specific to Microsoft Graph and Relationships to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields. Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint) is specific to Microsoft Graph and Properties to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph. Teams messages and chats is specific to Microsoft Graph and Labels to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Graph and Neo4j

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 Neo4j 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 written to Neo4j through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Neo4j Microsoft Graph Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Neo4j are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes.

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 Neo4j 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
read · write · webhooks
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.

Neo4j

Integration surface
Bolt binary protocol with Cypher via official drivers, plus an HTTP query API
Authentication
Username/password (basic auth); enterprise deployments add SSO options
Change detection
Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes; otherwise Cypher polling on timestamp properties
