Guidance for Office 365 Mail connector

Read the following information for guidance and best practices when using the Office 365 Mail connector in your flows.

Authentication

Create a connection using an admin or user Office 365 Mail account. See Authorization.

Re-authorize a connection

If you've used your account to create a connection successfully, you should be able to use this account to create as many connections as you want and re-authorize the old connections as long as no configuration is changed by the admin.
