# Authenticate Microsoft Tools

This guide details how to authenticate Microsoft tools within Airia using Airia's built-in OAuth 2.0 connector. This allows your models to interact securely with your Microsoft services.

## Supported Microsoft Tools

Airia currently supports authentication for the following Microsoft tools:

* **Outlook Events**
* **Outlook Contacts**
* **Outlook Email**
* **Microsoft Teams**

## Add a Microsoft Tool with Authentication

Follow these steps to add and authenticate a Microsoft tool:

1. **Select a Microsoft Tool:**
   * Navigate to the **Tools** section in your Airia dashboard.
   * From the library, select the desired Microsoft tool (e.g., **Send an email via Outlook**, **Create Outlook Events**).
2. **Review Tool Settings:**
   * On the tool configuration page, verify that the API and parameters are correctly listed for the selected tool.
   * You can use the tool as is, or modify settings if needed.
3. **Choose Authentication Method:**
   * In the authentication fields dropdown, select **Microsoft Authentication**.
   * A credential selection page will appear. Choose **Microsoft** as your credential provider.
4. **Grant Permissions and Authenticate:**
   * Based on your tool's use case, select the necessary permissions requested by Microsoft.
   * Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the authentication setup. This process generates an Access and Refresh token.
   * Save these as a new **Credentials** object and return to the tool configuration page.
5. **Save the Tool:**
   * Verify that the newly saved credentials are listed under the **Tool** configuration.
   * Click **Save** to add the configured tool to your library.

## Verify Tool Execution

After adding the Microsoft tool to an agent, execute the agent to verify that the tool works correctly:

> 💡 Note: For improved model responses when using Microsoft tools, consider adding a prompt that provides details about your email usage, organization structure, or specific terminology relevant to your use case.
