# create-subscription

Subscribes a listener application to receive change notifications when the requested type of changes occur to the specified resource in Microsoft Graph. To identify the resources for which you can create subscriptions and the limitations on subscriptions, see Set up notifications for changes in resource data: Supported resources. Some resources support rich notifications, that is, notifications that include resource data. For more information about these resources, see Set up change notifications that include resource data: Supported resources. 💡 TIP: Creates a webhook subscription for change notifications. Required body: { changeType (comma-separated: 'created,updated,deleted'), notificationUrl (HTTPS, must validate with token echo), resource (e.g. '/me/mailFolders/inbox/messages', '/users/{id}/events', '/teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages'), expirationDateTime (ISO 8601, max varies by resource type — 1 hour for calls, 24h for messages, 3 days for mail), clientState (opaque string returned in notifications, for validation) }. Optional: includeResourceData (true enables rich notifications, requires encryptionCertificate + encryptionCertificateId). No dedicated scope — caller must have a read permission for the target resource (e.g. Mail.Read, Calendars.Read, ChannelMessage.Read.All, Files.Read.All).
