Check Your Lumen and Microsoft 365 Connections

In this lesson we'll visit the IoD API tab. Think of it as Apptifi's control room. It shows whether Apptifi is connected to the services it depends on, lets you sync your Microsoft 365 calendar, and keeps a log of recent activity. The API Connections card checks three links.

Lumen IoD API is how Apptifi places orders and changes bandwidth. Microsoft Graph connects to your Microsoft 365 calendar. And Lumen Webhooks is how Lumen sends status updates back to Apptifi. Green means connected.

Webhooks are what keep the Inventory tab up to date on their own. Here you can see when the last update arrived. If the webhook isn't connected, this card explains why and shows a button to register it again. Use Refresh status to check all three connections again, for example after you've updated credentials in Settings.

Next is Microsoft 365 Calendar Sync. Apptifi pulls events from your Microsoft 365 calendar within your monitoring window, and imports the ones that match your pattern as scheduled events. Click Sync Calendar Now whenever you want the latest events brought in. Finally, the API Activity Log shows the most recent fifty entries.

Each line has a time, a level, the part of Apptifi it came from, and a message. You'll see the scheduler raising and lowering bandwidth, status updates from Lumen, and calendar syncs. Warnings are amber, and errors are highlighted in red. This is the first place to look when something doesn't seem right.

For example, this error explains exactly why an order was rejected. Use Refresh to load the latest entries. That's the IoD API tab: your connections, your calendar sync, and a clear record of what Apptifi has been doing.
