Mark Stafford from the Microsoft Graph team hosted the call this month. We first shared the new PowerApp templates powered by Microsoft Graph, and then Microsoft PM, Sudhi Ramamurthy, talked about modern Excel programmability and how you can use Microsoft Graph to power apps that use Excel calc engine. Next, Gavin Barron from Intergen shared a very cool app that he built for his personal productivity. The app uses Microsoft Graph, Bot Framework and Azure Functions, and helps him efficiently manage his calendar. Finally, Andrew Connell from Voitanos talked about the launch of the new Microsoft Graph Community samples repo. Developers can now contribute and share their code and projects that integrate with Microsoft Graph.
