Connecting Amazon Q Business to Microsoft Exchange using APIs
You use the CreateDataSource action to connect a data source to your Amazon Q application.
Then, you use the
configuration parameter to provide a JSON schema with all other configuration
information specific to your data source connector.
For an example of the API request, see CreateDataSource in the Amazon Q API Reference.
Microsoft Exchange JSON schema
The following is the Microsoft Exchange JSON schema:

The following table provides information about important JSON keys to configure.
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
connectionConfiguration |
Configuration information for the endpoint for the data source. |
repositoryEndpointMetadata |
The endpoint information for the data source. |
tenantId |
The Microsoft 365 tenant ID. You can find your tenant ID in the Properties of your Azure Active Directory Portal. |
repositoryConfigurations |
Configuration information for the content of the data source. For example, configuring specific types of content and field mappings. |
|
A list of objects that map the attributes or field names of your Microsoft Exchange data source. |
secretARN |
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Secrets Manager secret that contains the key-value pairs required to connect to your Exchange data source. This includes your client ID and your client secret. |
additionalProperties |
Additional configuration options for content in your data source |
inclusionPatterns
|
A list of regular expression patterns to include specific files in your Exchange data source. Files that match the patterns are included in the index. Files that don't match the patterns are excluded from the index. If a file matches both an inclusion and exclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence and the file isn't included in the index. |
exclusionPatterns
|
A list of regular expression patterns to exclude specific files in your Exchange data source. Files that match the patterns are excluded from the index. Files that don't match the patterns are included in the index. If a file matches both an exclusion and inclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence and the file isn't included in the index. |
startCalendarDateTime |
Use to specify the date and time for Calendar content to be crawled by Amazon Q. |
endCalendarDateTime |
Use to specify the date and time for Calendar content to be crawled by Amazon Q. |
subject |
Use to specify email subject lines to be crawled. |
emailFrom |
Use to specify emails to be crawled based on sender. |
emailTo |
Use to specify emails to be crawled based on recipient. |
maxFileSizeInMegaBytes |
Specify the maximum single file size limit in MBs that Amazon Q will crawl. Amazon Q will crawl only the files within the size limit you define. The default file size is 50MB. The maximum file size should be greater than 0MB and less than or equal to 50MB. |
|
true to index this content in your Microsoft Exchange data source. NoteAmazon Q Business crawls ACL information by default to ensure responses are generated only from documents your end users have access to. See Authorization for more details. |
syncMode |
Specify whether Amazon Q should update your index by syncing all
documents or only new, modified, and deleted documents. You can choose between the
following options:
|
type |
The type of data source. Specify MSEXCHANGE as your data source
type. |
enableIdentityCrawler |
true to activate identity crawler. Identity crawler is activated by
default. Crawling identity information on users and groups with access to specific
documents is useful for user context filtering. Search results are filtered based on the
user or their group access to documents. NoteAmazon Q Business crawls identity information from your data source by default to ensure responses are generated only from documents end users have access to. For more information, see Identity crawler. |
version |
The version of this template that's currently supported. |
