Configure synchronization with custom target attributes

Artikel
07/12/2023

Namespace: microsoft.graph

You can customize your synchronization schema to include custom attributes that are defined in the target directory. This article describes how to customize a Salesforce subscription by adding a new field called officeCode. You set up synchronization from Microsoft Entra ID to Salesforce, and for each user, you will populate the officeCode field in Salesforce with the value from the extensionAttribute10 field in Microsoft Entra ID.

This article assumes that you have already added an application that supports synchronization to your tenant through the Microsoft Entra admin center, that you know the application display name, and that you have an authorization token for Microsoft Graph. For information about how to get the authorization token, see Get access tokens to call Microsoft Graph.

Find the service principal object by display name

The following example shows how to find a service principal object with the display name Salesforce.

Request

	requestConfiguration.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer {Token}");

Add a definition for the officeCode attribute and a mapping between attributes

Use a plain text editor of your choice (for example, Notepad++ or JSON Editor Online) to:

Add an attribute definition for the officeCode attribute.
- Under directories, find the directory with the name salesforce.com, and in the object's array, find the one named User.
- Add the new attribute to the list, specifying the name and type, as shown in the following example.
Add an attribute mapping between officeCode and extensionAttribute10.
- Under synchronizationRules, find the rule that specifies Microsoft Entra ID as the source directory, and Salesforce.com as the target directory ("sourceDirectoryName": "Azure Active Directory", "targetDirectoryName": "salesforce.com").
- In the objectMappings of the rule, find the mapping between users ("sourceObjectName": "User", "targetObjectName": "User").
- In the attributeMappings array of the objectMapping, add a new entry, as shown in the following example.

Save the modified synchronization schema

When you save the updated synchronization schema, make sure that you include the entire schema, including the unmodified parts. This request will replace the existing schema with the one that you provide.
