Microsoft To Do integration

Integrating Microsoft To Do with Frontegg allows your application to read and manage the signed-in user's task lists and tasks, including tasks shared with the user — all through Frontegg's integration layer using Microsoft OAuth 2.0 and the Microsoft Graph API.


Prerequisites

  • A Microsoft account with access to the Azure portal
  • An Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID) tenant

Register an application in Azure

Step 1: Go to App registrations

Sign in to the Azure portal and search for App registrations in the top search bar. Click App registrations in the results.

Step 2: Register a new application

Click New registration at the top of the page. Fill in the registration form:

  1. Enter a name for your application (for example, Frontegg Todo Integration).
  2. Under Supported account types, select Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Microsoft Entra ID tenant — Multitenant) for multi-tenant apps, or the appropriate option for your use case.
  3. Under Redirect URI, select Web as the platform and enter:
    https://YOUR_MCP_GATEWAY_URL/integration-callback
  4. Click Register.

Step 3: Copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID

After registration, you are taken to the application overview page. Copy both the Application (client) ID and the Directory (tenant) ID — you will need them when configuring the Frontegg portal.

Create a client secret

Step 4: Go to Certificates & secrets

In the left sidebar, click Certificates & secrets, then click New client secret.

Step 5: Add a description and expiry

In the Add a client secret panel, enter a description (for example, Frontegg Integration) and choose an expiry period. Click Add.

Step 6: Copy the client secret value

The new secret appears in the list. Copy the Value immediately — it is only shown once. After you navigate away, you cannot retrieve it again.

Save your Client Secret now

The Client Secret value is only displayed once. After you leave this page, you can only see the secret ID — not the value. Store the value securely before continuing.

Configure the Frontegg portal

Once you have your Client ID, Client Secret, and optionally the Tenant ID, enter them in the Frontegg portal:

  1. Open the Frontegg portal and navigate to [ENVIRONMENT] → Integrations → Microsoft To Do.
  2. Enter the Client ID and Client Secret in the corresponding fields.
  3. Optionally, enter the Directory (tenant) ID. Leave blank or use common for multi-tenant applications.
  4. Select the required scopes:
