Prerequisites

Before using this connector in your Ballerina application, complete the following:

• Create Microsoft Outlook Account
• Obtaining tokens

1. Follow this link and obtain the client ID, client secret, and refresh token.

Quickstart

To use the Outlook mail connector in your Ballerina application, update the .bal file as follows:

Step 1 - Import connector

Import the ballerinax/microsoft.outlook.mail module into the Ballerina project.

import ballerinax/microsoft.outlook.mail;

Step 2: - Create a new connector instance

You can now make the connection configuration using the OAuth2 refresh token grant config.

mail:ConnectionConfig configuration = {
    auth: {
        refreshUrl: <REFRESH_URL>,
        refreshToken : <REFRESH_TOKEN>,
        clientId : <CLIENT_ID>,
        clientSecret : <CLIENT_SECRET>
    }
};

mail:Client outlookClient = check new(configuration);

Step 3: Invoke connector operation

1. Send a new message using the sendMessage remote operation

public function main() returns error? {
    mail:MessageContent messageContent = {
        message: {
            subject: "Ballerina Test Email",
            importance: "Low",
            body: {
                "contentType": "HTML",
                "content": "This is sent by sendMessage operation <b>Test</b>!"
            },
            toRecipients: [
                {
                    emailAddress: {
                        address: "<email address>",
                        name: "<name>"
                    }
                }
            ]
        },
        saveToSentItems: true
    };
    http:Response response = check oneDriveClient->sendMessage(messageContent);
}

2. Use bal run command to compile and run the Ballerina program.
