Microsoft switches to MS Graph API from EWS: A new challenge for Salesforce users

Microsoft recently announced a full transition from Exchange Web Services (EWS) APIs to Microsoft Graph (MS Graph) by March 31, 2022. This means that software that uses EWS API won’t be able to continue operating using this API. This includes Salesforce’s own data capture solutions, like Lightning Sync and Einstein Activity Capture

  • No new EWS apps registration
  • Deprecation of the 25 least used APIs for Exchange Online
  • Surface area reduction of the EWS protocol
  • No more support for deprecated APIs
