Hi @Harry Jaggard ,

Hope you are doing well.

We can create Message Rule using below graph api endpoint.

Please refer mailfolder-post-messagerules microsoft article for the same.

Outlook carries out those actions if an incoming message in the user's Inbox meets the specified conditions.

Permissions  
  
Delegated (work or school account)     MailboxSettings.ReadWrite  
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) MailboxSettings.ReadWrite  
Application                            MailboxSettings.ReadWrite  

Graph API Endpoint  
  
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/inbox/messageRules  
  
Request Header  
  
Content-type: application/json  
  
Request Body  
  
{  
    "displayName": "Keyword Rule",  
    "sequence": 1,  
    "isEnabled": true,  
    "conditions": {  
        "bodyContains": [  
            "test"  
        ]  
    },  
    "actions": {  
        "forwardTo": [  
            {  
                "emailAddress": {  
                    "name": "User Name",  
                    "address": "user@o365xx.onmicrosoft.com"  
                }  
            }  
        ],  
        "stopProcessingRules": true  
    }  
}  
  
Graph API Response  
  
{  
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users('6ab5cc33-a9d6-40b1-a84f-993e06d170f3')/mailFolders('inbox')/messageRules/$entity",  
    "id": "AQAAAEegLYU=",  
    "displayName": "Keyword Rule",  
    "sequence": 1,  
    "isEnabled": true,  
    "hasError": false,  
    "isReadOnly": false,  
    "conditions": {  
        "bodyContains": [  
            "test"  
        ]  
    },  
    "actions": {  
        "stopProcessingRules": true,  
        "forwardTo": [  
            {  
                "emailAddress": {  
                    "name": "User Name",  
                    "address": "user@o365xx.onmicrosoft.com"  
                }  
            }  
        ]  
    }  
}  

So in this way you can forward email that contains specific keyword to another user with webmail

Hope this helps.
