I'm new to Power Automate and trying to get the "Category" flag that is placed on emails after received. My number one problem is finding a connection that has the category object available.
These are the objects I'm trying to find, in Outlook web they are 'category labels'
In web searches I'm getting contradictory information, one they can't be found: Link
Another says if you connect to Outlook365 you'll have 'Categories' Link, these may only be associated with calendar entries.
The Connections I've been able to make are to Shared Mailboxes, I'm now experimenting with my personal work mailbox (Outlook 365) and not finding it there either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can use the List Outlook categories Graph API method for this. Use the below Uri in a Send an HTTP request Outlook Office 365 connector action.

I am making a quick program that can check another users Outlook calendar and book an appointment. The booking part is fine, but I am looking at a way to return other users calendar information, without having to link a calendar to Outlook first.
I was thinking that there would be an API or a way to access this information either via 365 or the exchange server. There is this (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/office-365-api/?redirectedfrom=MSDN#Getevents) but it doesn't seem to do what I am after and is also deprecated with an end date within a year
I have read about Microsoft Graph but in reading it refers to 'users calendar', can this do calendars for a specific user that isn't me?
GET /me/calendar/calendarView?startDateTime={start_datetime}&endDateTime={end_datetime}
If so, does anyone know how?
Thank you
You can access user's calendar by calling the following endpoint
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/calendarView?startDateTime={start_datetime}&endDateTime={end_datetime}
Resource:
List calendarView
Using office Outlook, we can find the 'Memberships' tab when we click and expand a contact, this 'Memberships' tab shows the list of emails that the user is subscribed to.
For example, Employee X (x.x#zcompany.com / id123#zcompany.com) under the Data Department of Z Company is subscribed to the following distribution groups:
datateam#zcompany.com
allemployeees#zcompany.com
dataweekly#zcompany.com
it.uk#zcompany.com
znewsletter#zcompany.com
I would like to get the list of emails the user is subscribed to by inputting either the user's email or user's organization ID.
I found a few potential solutions but do not know exactly how to implement them:
Outlook Interop GetMemberOfList() and GetExchangeDistributionList()
Using Microsoft Graph API
VBA automation for Outlook
Reverse engineering using ExchangePowershell
Using RPA to imitate user actions on Outlook
Wonder if someone with experience doing this can provide some advice? Thanks in advance.
In OOM, call Application.Session.CreateRecipient, Recipient.Resolve, Recipient.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser(). ExchangeUser exposes GetMemberOfList() method, which returns IAddressEntries object.
When creating Calendar Events via the Graph API, the events are created correctly in the calendar of the organizer but the invites to the participants get bounced. The organizer gets a 'Delivery has failed...' message with the following error message:
Remote Server returned '550 5.7.708 Service unavailable. Access denied, traffic not accepted from this IP. For more information please go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=526653 AS(7171)
Sending emails manually through Outlook (web) from the organizer to the participants works fine.
The issue is intermittent. After changing the DNS server, everything worked fine for some time.
I checked https://protection.office.com/restrictedusers as suggested in the answers to similar posts, but this list is empty.
I also tried delisting the IP address (my own?) through https://sender.office.com/, but to no avail.
The tenant is linked to the Microsoft Developer Program and would allegedly have a 'bad reputation'. However, I don't understand how that would explain the fact that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't when sending exactly the same API request and hence 'triggering' exactly the same emails...
I think the best way to overcome this would be to add a domain to your developer tenant as per the guidance here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/Exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/non-delivery-reports-in-exchange-online/fix-error-code-5-7-700-through-5-7-750#57750-client-blocked-from-sending-from-unregistered-domain
Add and validate all domains in Office 365 that you use to send email messages. For more information, see Add a domain to Office 365.
I'm not guaranteeing this will resolve it. You have to understand that those developer tenants are only meant for experimentation and so there are checks and balances to ensure they are used in a bad manor.
How many emails are you sending through this tenant?
Calendar events are sent out via email. Add the "Mail.Send" permission to you App Registration.
This solved it for me.
Just like in the title. I would like users using Outlook to be able to click a link in the appointment which will redirect them to the site with additional data about this meeting. This link should be available in a few seconds after creating this appointment, best immidiately. The link may contain either id to this meeting in Exchange or date, time and room.
Is it possible by using transport rules? I couldn't find anything relevant.
Second way to achieve it may be a service which will scan appointments and append relevant link, but it should work every few seconds and be fully reliable.
Any other way? I can't see anything in message/appointment headers :/
I would like to support Exchange versions from 2010 up to Online.
We are constructing an application that will be interacting with Exchange 2007 calendar functions. We will be using the Outlook Redemption Objects dll’s. Our design relies upon the outlook 2007 meeting Category features. We would like to ensure that specific mailboxes have a standard set of category names and colors.
We can’t rely on users to set these up. We also can’t rely on users running the exchange client, many users will be on MAC’s and will be using OWA to manage their calendar.
As I understand it the master category list is stored in each users mailbox in an hidden message in a property named IPM.Configuration.CategoryList. I haven’t found any reference on how to set this yet.
The only things that I have found to help us are:
Group policy objects: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179073.aspx As I understand this, it won’t manage the color’s and relies upon the exchange client.
A third party tool - http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?id=2006063&cmd=detail&lang=en&pub=6 The enterprise edition appears to do what we want but is expensive for a once per mailbox operation on 100 or so mailboxes.
Basically, our preferred solution is to be able to produce a script that accepts a mailbox name and sets up a standard master category list.
we were able to accomplish our task using the code at http://gsexdev.blogspot.com/2007/08/adding-categories-to-master-categories.html
AFAIK, the categories for mail box items are stored in local outlook profile and not on the exchange server.Before Ol 2K7, these were stored in registry so I doubt if category master list can be set on E2K7.
