Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the rest of the records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Field Name		Field Type	Description

Field Name		Field Type	Description
Label* Default Value: Create Entry Example: Create_Entry		String	Specify a name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline.
Entity type Default value: User Example: Group		Dropdown list	Select the kind of object to create. The available options are: User Group You cannot create Mail-enabled security groups using the Microsoft Graph APIs. If you create such a group, the Snap displays an error. Learn more: Working with groups in Microsoft Graph - Microsoft Graph v1.0.
Attributes	Use this field set to define attributes for the new entry. This field set contains the following fields:
	Attribute name Default value: N/A Example: displayName	String/Expression	Specify a name for the attribute. When creating a new user, the ‘forceChangePasswordNextLogin’ is selected by default. If selected, the user is created with a temporary password. However, the Authenticate Users Snap invalidates this entry; hence, deselect this attribute so that the password is permanent, and also for this Snap to validate this entry.
	Attribute value Default value: N/A Example: $displayName	String/Expression	Specify a value for the attribute name.
Snap Execution Default value: Execute only Example: Validate & Execute		Dropdown list	Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Additional Information

Many features in Microsoft Graph API work similarly to the Azure Active Directory Graph APIs. However, a few have been changed or improved. For instance, there is a variation of the entity names in the output preview. This table depicts the difference in the output:

Old output (Azure AD Graph API)

New Output (Microsoft Graph API)

The entity object Id property was displayed as “ObjectId".

Learn more about the properties in Azure AD Graph API:

Azure AD Graph API Entity and Complex Type Reference

The object Id property is displayed as “Id" in the output.

The output also contains the default parameters shown by the Microsoft Graph API. However, there are certain attributes such as city that can be set by the Create Entry Snap, but this parameter is not displayed in the output as it is not the default output parameter. If you want use such parameters in your output, you can use filters to filter the parameters.
