## Create an enterprise application for Spark

This guide explains how to add a link to Coherent Spark in Microsoft 365 apps (<https://www.microsoft365.com/apps>), My Apps (<https://myapps.microsoft.com/>), and across the entire Microsoft 365 environment. This ensures that users can seamlessly access the external Spark application without needing to search for or remember its URL.

1. Go to Microsoft Entra ID at [https://entra.microsoft.com/](https://entra.microsoft.com/#home.).
2. In the left menu, select **Enterprise Applications** under the **Applications** section.
3. Select **+ New Application**.
4. Select **Create your own application**.
5. Enter a name (e.g. `Coherent Spark`).
6. Select **Integrate any other application you don’t find in the gallery (Non-gallery)** and select **Create**.
7. Once created, go to the **Single Sign-On** section.
8. Choose **Linked** as the SSO method.
9. Enter your Spark URL in the format `https://spark.{environment}.coherent.global/{tenant}` into the **Sign on URL** field.
10. Select **Save**.
11. On the left pane, select **Users and Groups**.
12. Select **Add User/Group**.
13. Select the **Users or Groups** who should see the link.
14. Select **Assign**.

Now, assigned users visiting Microsoft 365 or My Apps will see the external link to their Spark App.

## Pin the external Spark app to the Microsoft 365 sidebar

1. Navigate to [https://www.microsoft365.com/apps](https://www.microsoft365.com/apps.).
2. Select **All Apps**.
3. Scroll down to **Other Apps**.
4. Find your Spark app.
5. Select the ellipsis menu and select **Pin**.

Spark will now appear on the Microsoft 365 sidebar for quick access.
