Office 365 Connector
New Office 365 Event Connector unlocks both value and control for the operator
Eigen tools and systems now integrate with Microsoft’s low code Power Automate to enable events-based alerts and workflows, putting more control in the hands of the operator and speeding up time to value.
The trend to low and no code tools is well underway in oil and gas. With a highly skilled workforce keen to “get their hands dirty” and managers keen to upskill their staff, it’s win-win.
But often the complexity of oil and gas systems, that have evolved sometimes over decades, and the range of data and its multiple locations, prevent engineers creating the value they seek.
At Eigen we build knowledge graphs to integrate the complex landscape of oil and gas data and systems so that engineers can understand their operations, the risks, performance and opportunities.
Eigen’s new Microsoft-approved O365 Event Connector can now connect these knowledge graphs directly to engineers with the tools or ‘flows’ to build robust alerts, reports and other workflows.
Without the need for custom code; without the need to hire third party vendors.
How it works
The knowledge graph collects the latest data and makes this available. The Eigen O365 Event Connector listens out for this data and if it meets a condition it triggers an event, like an email.
Microsoft provides simple, intuitive building blocks to integrate and interrogate data from Eigen knowledge graphs and platforms, straight into Microsoft Teams, Outlook or any of the Office toolkit – and crucially with links back to Ingenuity to take action on the information.
Microsoft sets a high bar for all new connectors into O365 based on robust security and data controls. These standards ensure any customer data sent with an event is protected and only accessible by that customer.

Benefits
- Leverage standardised tools and capabilities that Microsoft has already built – no duplicated effort or spend.
- Upskills workforce and reduces dependence on third party vendors.
- Encourages an experimentation culture – build minimum viable products and prototypes before investing and scaling.
- Faster speed to deployment and value.
Case study: The Eigen O365 Event Connector in action
Challenge
The client wanted to be able to record two specific times when a blow down valve was open, in order to alert the team if it was not functioning within safe operating limits: 1) when the pressure went below 8 bar and 2) when the pressure dropped below 50% of the original pressure. Based on a set time interval, status was set to either ‘OK’ or ‘Alert’.
Solution
With predefined parameters and data, the Eigen team was able to quickly create a Flow that gathered the data via Eigen Ingenuity and the client’s knowledge graph, when the condition Alert was met and then send a message including the data to a Teams chat.
Impact
This flow took minutes to create, requiring no coding experience or customisation, reassuring the client about the safe performance of the valve. Simple and at zero third party cost, the flow is a new building block that the team can integrate with others to build sophisticated workflows, alerts and reports.

Examples of what the Eigen O365 Event Connector can help you do
Use case: exceeds a threshold
Run a totaliser calculation of CO2 emissions using the Eigen Analytics Platform and the Event Connector to trigger an entry to a spreadsheet if they exceed a predefined limit or send a Teams message with a chart showing a trend.
Use case: barrier impairment
Send a detailed breakdown of a barrier impairment, pulling data from multiple system when an event is triggered. The Event Connector can send this breakdown and data to an individual or group with a direct link to Ingenuity to begin the investigation.
Use case: slugging at a riser base
Read values of fluids, gases and pressures at a flowline/riser section to predict slugging and take intervening action. The Event Connector can collect data from within the system and send an alert with the data to the production optimisation team to manage the choke.
