Configuring Custom Attributes in Entra ID for Everbridge Integration

Description

When integrating Everbridge with Entra ID, you can add custom attributes to the synchronization of contact data. This process involves using the onPremisesExtensionAttribute section to include additional information, such as location-based attributes.

Steps to Add Custom Attributes

To add custom attributes in the Entra ID integration with Everbridge:

1. Navigate to the Expand Attributes section in your integration settings.

2. Locate the onPremisesExtensionAttribute section.

3. Add the desired custom attribute using the appropriate syntax.

Syntax for Custom Attributes

When adding a custom attribute, use the following format:

attributeName:number

For example, to add a location-based attribute like 'itLocationCode', use:

iTLocationCode:1

The number after the colon indicates how many of the attribute's items you want to select and sync.

Location of Custom Attribute Configuration

Custom attributes should be added in the Expand Attributes section of your Entra ID integration settings. This is where you'll find the onPremisesExtensionAttribute section for configuring these additional fields.

Selecting and Syncing Custom Attributes

By adding custom attributes in this manner, you can select and sync specific attributes from the user entity during the integration process.
