Visit the EDL Hosting Service and identify the Feed URL for your SaaS application.
Review the Microsoft 365 documentation for more information which Feed URL is best for your use case. Additionally, consider the SaaS application and location of users accessing the SaaS application when identifying a Feed URL to.

For a policy-based forwarding policy rule, use an IP-based Feed URL.
