I am working on a multi-tenant daemon application. The application needs to send an email on behalf of the user. The email sent by the application would have to include anot
You cannot provide just the id
of the message. If you do that, you'll get a blank attachment. Unfortunately the API is not set up to retrieve the item by ID and insert it for you.
So what that means is you need to retrieve the message yourself and include that entire JSON payload in the item
property of the attachment. (See https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/message_post_attachments)
There is one key detail that you need to be aware of: before adding the JSON representation of the message to be attached, you need to add an @odata.type
property to it, and set it to microsoft.graph.message
.
For example:
GET /me/messages/{id}
{
"@odata.etag": "W/\"CQAAABYAAACImwNLdwWFR4SE3YBnGvEfAAAOjRuW\"",
"id": "AAMkADRkOWJjMjdlLTM3OWMtNDU5ZS05YWZlLTRjMjkwZWE5NWMyYgBGAAAAAACUZXoWyqoWRohmHfOzvx9wBwCImwNLdwWFR4SE3YBnGvEfAAAAAAEMAACImwNLdwWFR4SE3YBnGvEfAAAOi7KdAAA=",
