Outlook Graph API not receiving groups - outlook

What I am trying to achieve -
When I call message API, it returns the group address to which mail is sent, I want to get the members of the group, And for that I believe I need group Id, so I am using the groups API mentioned below https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups
But this API returns an empty list to me.
Note: email I using is #outlook.com, not xyz.com.

The Microsoft graph API doesn't support personal accounts as you can see the below image. You should have a Work account to get the group details. You were able to get the messages because it supports personal accounts to read messages from your mailbox.

Microsoft Graph API does not return all received mail for family and personal accounts

Using the following endpoint returns all mail (both sent and received) for a work account:
GET /me/messages
However it doesn't return all received mail for personal/family accounts. Both the v1.0 and beta versions display this behaviour.
Is there a way of retrieving all received mail for personal/family accounts?
returns some or returns error? did you give the api access permissions to those accounts?
make sure to check this official document.
The documentation says you can get up to only 1000 emails at once. And from permissions section, it seems only possible to get all emails from within an application given the permission Mail.ReadBasic.All even for work account.
I don't have a work account thus I tested sending an email to myself on my personal account and tested the query on graph-explorer test page here. The first 2 results are those freshly received and freshly sent ones. with this I will say a work and personal/family accounts are no different on getting emails since you said you can get both received and sent mails from a work account.
so in short, you can get up to 1000 emails unless you use an application with permission to read all but with limited properties because Mail.ReadBasic
allows the app to read email in the signed-in user's mailbox except body, previewBody, attachments and any extended properties, and hence I deduce Mail.ReadBasic.All does the same

How to send an email to an O365 Group as a different user with Graph API?

I want to send an email to an Office365 Group using Graph API. My issue is that all the emails are sent from the user I am using to generate the token. This is expected as the API endpoint only supports User tokens (Delegated permissions) as described here.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/conversation-post-threads?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=csharp
Is there any way I can use Graph API to send an email to an O365 Group as another user? I know this is possible when sending an email to a regular user (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/outlook-send-mail-from-other-user), but not sure how to do it with O365 Groups.
Thanks!
I guess this is not possible, unfortunately. You have to use EWS.

Outlook Graph email API: Threaded Email Conversations

I have an application that I have to integrate with the outlook via Graph API. I need to retrieve the conversations which I am getting using the Graph Mail API. But the graph API is not able to return the object of the email in the form of threads(like that of a conversation thread between two email ids). Also, there is no field in the object that can specify to which thread a particular email belongs so that I can group them in my app.
Is there any way I can achieve the same.
Honestly, I think there is some severe lack of documentation on this everyday use case.
The solution it seems is to filter your messages by the conversationId.

Is it possible to update a group's auto-reply settings using the API?

I'm using Gmail.Users.Settings.updateVacation to update our customer service rep's vacation responses automatically over the weekend and after-hours, so our customers who e-mail when we're not in the office get an informative message of when they can expect a response.
I am attempting to do the same thing with our Google Groups, but have not been able to find the correct API call. If I use the same method as above, but with a group's e-mail address, I get a "Delegation denied" error (even though I'm an Owner of the group). I suspect this is because a Group is not a User, and is just different.
I've found the Manage Group Settings API, which essentially has just one update method, and you use properties to specify what you want to update on the group. The problem is, there is no auto-reply property name that I can find.
How do I update a Group's auto-reply settings?
Many thanks!
Unfortunately, what you want cannot be achieved through the API.
All the possible methods are present in the Groups Settings API so if you didn't find the expected method there, then it means that is not possible through the API.
What you can do instead is to file a Feature Request here and provide all the necessary details.

Pass a unique ID with Twilio HTTP POST

I am currently using Twilio to send balance notifications for customers who have opted into SMS notifications, but have run into an issue in positively identifying accounts in the message logs. A number of customers have multiple accounts due to the nature of my industry, but naturally use the same phone number across all accounts. Is there any way to pass a parameter containing their internal account ID in the HTTP POST request without including it in the message body? I've searched extensively through Twilio's API docs and cannot find this addressed anywhere.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
As far as I know there is currently no way to store metadata, like your account ID, within an SMS sent via Twilio.
One idea could be that you purchase a number of Twilio numbers and tie together a user's phone number, a Twilio phone number and the specific account. That way, if you always send balance notifications for a specific account from a specific number then you can identify that message in the logs as belonging to that user phone number for that account.
Alternatively, I'd have thought it would be useful for users, if they have more than one account, to see to which account you are referring in a balance notification. Would it be possible to include the account id (or some other identifier that the user would recognise) and then parse that out of the message when reconciling messages and accounts?
Not exactly the question but if you are using twilio webhooks for status callbacks you can pass query string params through the status_callback parameter when making the call to send the SMS message and get it sent to your endpoint
