Adding Category to Mail using graph api

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to add category to a mail during send/forward/reply (using graph api) but unable to do so. Mail are being sent but without any category attached. Can anyone help me to solve what am I doing wrong (see code snippet below). Thanks in advance

{
"message": {
"subject": "Meet for lunch?",
"body": {
"contentType": "Text",
"content": "The new cafeteria is open."
},
"toRecipients": [
{
"emailAddress": {
"address": "abc@harsh.com .com"
}
}
],
"categories": [
"Project expenses"
]
}
}

Hi @Namit Pandey ,

Hope you are doing well,

To set categories for message, you need to draft a message using this graph API endpoint. Refer

Post:-https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages

Once the message draft action is completed (above step) ,you can see this message in in your sent items with category selected. after this you have to send email by capturing the message ID from previous step.
