HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Core Nodes, and Communication workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook nodes

You can find HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook

A connection establishes a link between HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from HTTP Request to Microsoft Outlook or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Phishing Analysis - URLScan.io and VirusTotal

This n8n workflow automates the analysis of email messages received in a Microsoft Outlook inbox to identify indicators of compromise (IOCs), specifically suspicious URLs. It can be triggered manually or scheduled to run daily at midnight.

The workflow begins by retrieving up to 100 read email messages from the Outlook inbox. However, there seems to be a configuration issue as it should retrieve unread messages, not read ones. It then marks these messages as read to avoid processing them again in the future.

The messages are then split into individual items using the Split In Batches node for sequential processing. For each email, the workflow analyzes its content to find URLs, which are considered potential IOCs. If URLs are found, the workflow proceeds to check these URLs for potential threats using two services, URLScan.io and VirusTotal, in parallel.

In the first path, URLScan.io scans each URL, and if there are no errors, the results from URLScan.io and VirusTotal are merged. If there are errors, the workflow waits 1 minute before attempting to retrieve the URLScan results again. The loop then continues for the next email. In the second path, VirusTotal is used to scan the URLs, and the results are retrieved.

Finally, the workflow checks if the data field is not empty, filtering out items where no data was found. It then sends a summarized Slack message to report details about the analyzed email, including the subject, sender, date, URLScan report URL, and VirusTotal verdict for URLs that were reported as malicious.

Potential issues during setup include configuring the Outlook node to retrieve unread messages, resolving a configuration issue in the VirusTotal node, and handling authentication and API keys for both URLScan.io and VirusTotal nodes. Additionally, proper error handling and testing with various email content types and URLs are essential to ensure the workflow accurately identifies IOCs and reports them to the Slack channel.

Popular HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook workflows

📈 Receive Daily Market News from FT.com to your Microsoft outlook inbox

📈 Daily Financial News - Description This workflow automates the process of collecting, organizing, and delivering a daily summary of financial news by following these key steps: Scheduled Activation The workflow starts at 7:00 AM each day, triggered by the Schedule Trigger node. News Retrieval The HTTP Request node fetches the latest financial news from FT.com. Content Extraction The Extract Specific Content node scrapes targeted sections of the HTML (headlines, editor's picks, top stories, etc.) using CSS selectors to locate and capture relevant content. News Aggregation The Set Node gathers and organizes the extracted news data, preparing it for summarization. Categories like "Headline #1," "Editor's Picks," and "Europe News" are all structured into a single data block. Summarization An AI Agent (Google Gemini) takes the aggregated news data and creates a concise, HTML-formatted summary tailored to give investors an insightful market snapshot. Email Delivery Finally, the Microsoft Outlook node sends the summary via email to the designated recipient with the subject "Financial news from today." This process ensures that financial news is efficiently curated, summarized, and delivered without manual intervention.

Create, add an attachment, and send a draft using Microsoft Outlook

This workflow allows you to create, add an attachment, and send a draft using the Microsoft Outlook node. Microsoft Outlook node: This node creates a draft message with HTML content. You can either set the content as Text or HTML. You can also add the recipients to the draft in this node. HTTP Request node: This node fetches the logo of n8n from a URL and returns the binary data. You might want to fetch files from your machine or another email or a database. You can replace this node with the relevant node. Microsoft Outlook1 node: This node adds the attachment that we receive from the previous node to the draft message that we created. Microsoft Outlook2 node: This node sends the draft message to a recipient. Since we didn't mention the recipient in the Microsoft Outlook node, we add the recipient in this node. You can also enter multiple recipients.

Build your own HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook integration

Create custom HTTP Request and Microsoft Outlook workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
