I am trying to add message forwarding rule for a user but it is not working.

Question

API : https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/rahul.dewangan@k4mobility.com/mailFolders/inbox/messageRules

request body : {
"displayName": "From partner",
"sequence": 2,
"isEnabled": true,
"conditions": {
"isAutomaticForward": true
},
"actions": {
"forwardTo": [

See in the screenshot Email forwarding NONE

Answer 1

I tried the above payload, steps and it works for me!!

(1) Create a new rule using Graph API

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/inbox/messageRules  
Content-type: application/json  
  
{        
    "displayName": "From partner",        
    "sequence": 2,        
    "isAutomaticForward": true,            
     "actions": {  
        "forwardTo": [  
          {  
             "emailAddress": {  
                "name": "Alex Wilbur",  
                "address": "AlexW@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"  
              }  
           }  
        ],  
        "stopProcessingRules": true  
     }      
}  

(2) Test whether the rule is working or not.

Result: It's working as expected

(3) Check that the above rule shows or not (as part of Outlook.office.com or Outlook UI's rule section)
Adding a snapshot that i captured from Outlook.office.com, mailbox settings!!
