# Read or send emails using Microsoft Graph

Use Microsoft Graph endpoints to read or send emails from Microsoft Exchange Online.

## Using Microsoft Graph with ServiceNow

In addition to the standard IMAP, SMTP, and POP3, the ServiceNow AI Platform supports Microsoft Graph as an email type.

Email account administrators, which are users who have the email\_account\_admin role, can configure

-   ServiceNow AI Platform to read emails from an Microsoft Exchange Online tenant using Graph Endpoints by authenticating with a client ID and client secret or with certificates.
-   ServiceNow AI Platform to send emails from an Microsoft Exchange Online tenant using Graph Endpoints by authenticating with a client ID and client secret.

**Note:** Antispam and malware scanning are managed by the customer and not ServiceNow.

To receive and email, go to the **Email Account** form, select, **Microsoft Graph \(Receive\)** in the **Type** field.

To send and email, go to the **Email Account** form, select, **Microsoft Graph \(Send\)** in the **Type** field.
