I am trying to implement an evaluation survey for meetings, using Microsoft Forms over Office 365.
After I create and generate the link, I can get the info in an Excel file, but am missing a field with which I can link the survey's answers to the meeting.
Desired output in as seen in this image (all fields are already generated by Forms, except by that whose content is highlighted in yellow, which is the one I need to find out how to generate):
For the time being, I have 2 issues to solve:
How can I generate an ID for a meeting from Microsoft Outlook (where the meeting invitation was sent).
How can I pass that ID to Microsoft Forms.
Ideas about this or an alternative approach are welcome, thanks!!!
I think I have found a better approach:
To scrape all appointments in a period of time via API
To load appointment's data in MongoDB
To send personalized links to Outlook Forms questionnaires.
Here is the API documentation:

I work on making a parser for teams export data / pst format using Aspose lib for eDiscovery tool. Can the events like user joined or left a channel be exported from Teams and found in data ?
Aspose.Email doesn't seem to serve what you have requested at the moment . However, I have added a ticket with ID EMAILNET-39875 as investigation to further evaluate it. We will share the feedback with you as soon as we will complete investigation.
FYI: Aspose.Email API supports managing the entities mentioned in following image if stored inside PST.

I am looking to develop an addin for Outlook using the Office JS API. Reading the API documentation, there are a number of references to making a call to the Outlook REST API to do various things.
As an example, I want to retrieve a list of contacts from the local machine. I have seen posts suggesting I need to make a call to the Outlook REST API, however this doesn't make sense to me. If they are local/offline contacts, why would I need to do that? I feel as though I'm missing some relationship between the two.
A screenshot for the list of contacts I want to retrieve:
Question
Could someone outline how they fit together (if at all)? Is it expected that if I'm going to effectively use this API, I will also need to have my data "online", such that it's available from some REST service?
As the contacts are stored locally it can not be retrieved using REST API. Getting the contacts via Office JS is not possible today. We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page. Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered, when we go through our planning process.
Firstly, I used Microsoft Graph API /me/contacts to get all contacts, and I got 6000+ contacts' info. But when I login https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/people and visited [Your Contacts] page to compared the contact number, there are only 5000+ contacts.
Secondly, same problem in users count, I used Microsoft Graph API /users to get all users' info, and I got 5000+. But when I go to https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/people and visited [Directory > All Users], the number is only 4000+
I guessed outlook had filter some contacts, but I don't know the the filtering rules.
I wanted to solve this problem, but I don't know how.
So can someone tell me the filtering rules or can I use Microsoft Graph API token to fetch datas from Outlook API directly?

This answer need the guy from outlook team. Ignore now.
can I use Microsoft Graph API token to fetch data from Outlook API
directly?
No. Graph API token not the same as the pure Outlook API.
For the count issue, based on your project requirement to decide which to use. In other words, you can use your own filtering rules. In my opinion, use the data have more records, and then filter.
I have Outlook 2016 using Hosted Exchange. Here's what I need to be able to do:
Add Outlook tasks automatically when adding a contact via a custom form.
Send a premade .doc, .html, or .mshtml file via email to a set of contacts.
Keep track of who has received what premade email
I have some JS experience, but I'm not afraid of getting into .NET or VBA. I'm leaning towards VSTOs because, from what I've read, Office.js doesn't seem to allow for much interoperability between, say, Word and Outlook.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
From what you describe, I would step outside of Outlook all together and use theMicrosoft Graph API. Using Graph you could wire up a Webhook so you can capture when a new Contact is added and then send an email with a file attachment. You could then use Extended Properties to tag each Contact with the document/email they received.
I would also suggest taking a look at Microsoft Flow. For workflow scenarios like this, it may be a better fit.
I've just discovered that you can make custom forms in Outlook 2013. Now, we currently use two calendar apps, one which is very specific to our business needs and the other is Outlook 2013 (Office365). We currently sync some events, but not all, since the extra events don't have any place in Outlook as they'd be missing a tonne of relevant data, or it just wouldn't be readable.
Is it possible to "embed" this data in the content of a custom form, then read this using VBScript/some other method? If we could do this, then it would make the readability of the bespoke events in our business calendar a lot easier. I cannot find anything on this online (probably because I don't know exactly what to search for). I do not need the outlook version to update the business calendar.
For example, data might look like this
{"primaryGroup":"01-XUA-AL","eventName":"Customer Request 192"}
Outlook custom forms is a relatively old technology. I'd recommend using the Outlook form regions for customizing the UI. See Creating Outlook Form Regions for more information.
You may embed a custom information into user properties. They are preserved if the corresponding properties are defined on the recipient Inbox. See Changes to custom properties in Outlook for more information.
