Create an online meeting from Pega Infinity V86 using MS Graph API

Image
Continuation to my earlier post:  Click  , here I extended my research on the same MS Graph API services to create an online meeting(Teams) and send the meeting link to the invitees. First, I started experimenting the API service calls in my Postman tool and then later I worked on the same in Pega V86. As I mentioned in the above post, one must have a valid Azure id to work on this exercise. A part from this, we need to have the proper API permissions for this id to perform all the below mentioned steps. Here I am giving a snapshot of API permissions. Steps followed in Postman along with Pega side changes: 1) Get the access token using OAuth mechanism ( Pega => Authentication Profile rule ) 2) Create an online meeting using POST API call (Pega => Connect-REST ) 3) Send email to the invitees using POST API call (Pega => Connect-REST ) Below are the Pega implementation for the above steps.  Authentication Profile instance: Connect-REST for create an online meeting ...

Pega Infinity V86 had a new feature added to setup email connectivity using MS Graph service and all. Before jump on to the actual context, I would like to give a brief idea on MS Graph API and here is the blog post for it. click here Here are the simple steps to follow: 1) We need to have MS Azure access to work on this. To get the free 12 mons trial access, google it and follow the instructions given. After that, we need to setup some access permissions for your id. 2) Once the above is ready, we can login into Dev studio and select Data-EmailAccount instance for setting up the email account using MS Graph. Below is the snapshot on the configuration. Those who are interested to send email from Postman using Graph API: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{{UserName}}/sendMail  Here UserName is the Tenant ID for the used MS id.

Is it simple to add the custom buttons on the Signature control using Pega Infinity V8.x?

Image
The answer for the question is YES. We can check the steps in this post and is simple to implement at our end. Before I jump on to the actual topic, I would like to give a brief idea on the Signature control functionality in Pega. The Signature Capture control allows you to capture a user's signature when using either a desktop application or a mobile app accessed from the Pega 7 mobile application. Once a user has input a signature, it is added to the work item as an image attachment. Access the Signature Capture control from the Advanced dropdown in Designer Studio/Dev Studio. The control can be added within a cell in a dynamic or smart layout, to a section, or directly into a harness. Below is the sample look and feel once we sign it. Now we need to take out the OOTB buttons from the control and use our buttons to take an action while signing. Sample screenshot with 2 buttons added. Steps to follow: 1) Create 2 sections where one section has buttons and is embedded in other sec...
