I'm trying to understand if it's possible to use a url or api to open an Outlook.com calendar event in the users outlook.com/calendar with prefilled information? Essentially, just like an .ics file but using the webview in outlook.com

Story: as a user with no experience with outlook calendars, I want to click a button on a website and have it open a new calendar event (values pre-filled) in my outlook.com, so I spend as little setting up a meeting.

You could use the create event operation in the Microsoft Graph and then retrieve the weblink property of the event you just created to redirect the user to it.

  • Thanks for the link. very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. So the logic would be something like: Custom UI creates request body, sends to POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/calendar/events, wait for success and returned json {}, redirect user to weblink or whatever. BTW, congrats on the new position at MS! – DeanB_Develop Jan 06 '20 at 17:39
  • @baywet is there a way in outlook to send metadata in the email that can be converted to a calendar event like the Google metadata? – Rodolfo Abarca Aug 05 '21 at 23:21
