External Search

External search can query your custom search API and the response from the API can return contact information that will be shown in the search panel. A simple execution of this can be created by using Microsoft Flow.
External Search will send a HTTP POST to the specified URL. A JSON object with specific properties is sent in the body. The response body JSON array object(s) are expected to have specific property names.
Example HTTP POST Body:
Only populated properties will be sent in the body.

  "searchTerm": "John Doe",
  "departments": [
    "Sales"
  ],
  "officeLocations": [
    "New York"

  ],
  "mail": [
    "[email protected]"
  ],
  "userPrincipalName": [
    "[email protected]"
  ],
  "maxContactSearchResults": "20"
}
Example HTTP Response Body:
