Ways to access your data
To access your Outlook 365 data, you need to authenticate the connector with your Outlook 365 account credentials. After you create a connection, select Outlook 365 as your data source, select the prompt/consent level, and select Authenticate. You are redirected to an Outlook 365 login page. Log in with your credentials to retrieve an authentication code, and enter it into the connector.

After you authenticate the connector with your account credentials, use the tables to fetch your data. Below are use cases for some of the available tables:
| Table | Description |

| CanAuthenticate | Checks that your authentication is ok. |
