Method Details
getAsync(options, callback)
Gets the delivery date and time of a message.
getAsync(options: Office.AsyncContextOptions, callback?: (asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<Date | 0>) => void): void;Parameters
- options
- Office.AsyncContextOptions
An object literal that contains one or more of the following properties:- asyncContext: Developers can provide any object they wish to access in the callback function.
- callback
-
(asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<Date | 0>) => void
Optional. When the method completes, the function passed in the callback parameter is called with a single parameter, asyncResult, which is an Office.AsyncResult object. The delivery date and time of a message is returned in the asyncResult.value property. If a delivery date hasn't been set on a message yet, 0 is returned instead.
Returns
void

-
(asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<Date | 0>) => void
Optional. When the method completes, the function passed in the callback parameter is called with a single parameter, asyncResult, which is an Office.AsyncResult object.

Examples
// Link to full sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/prod/samples/outlook/90-other-item-apis/delay-message-delivery.yaml
// This snippet gets the delivery date and time of a message.
Office.context.mailbox.item.delayDeliveryTime.getAsync((asyncResult) => {
if (asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
console.log(asyncResult.error.message);
return;
}
const deliveryDate = asyncResult.value;
if (deliveryDate === 0) {
console.log("Your message will be delivered immediately when you select Send.");
} else {
const date = new Date(deliveryDate);
console.log(`Message delivery date and time: ${date.toString()}`);
}
});
setAsync(datetime, options, callback)
Sets the delivery date and time of a message.
setAsync(datetime: Date, options: Office.AsyncContextOptions, callback?: (asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<void>) => void): void;Parameters
- datetime
-
Date
The future date and time when the message should be sent.
- options
- Office.AsyncContextOptions
An object literal that contains one or more of the following properties:- asyncContext: Developers can provide any object they wish to access in the callback function.
- callback
-
(asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<void>) => void
Optional. When the method completes, the function passed in the callback parameter is called with a single parameter, asyncResult, which is an Office.AsyncResult object. Any errors encountered will be provided in the asyncResult.error property.
Returns
void
Remarks
Minimum permission level: read/write item
Applicable Outlook mode: Compose
Important: When item.delayDeliveryTime.setAsync is used to schedule the delivery of a message, the delay is processed on the server. This allows the message to be sent even if the Outlook client isn't running. However, because of this, the message doesn't appear in the Outbox folder, so you won't be able to edit the message or cancel its delivery after selecting Send. You'll only be able to review the mesasge from the Sent Items folder once the message is sent. To learn more, see Manage the delivery date and time of a message.
Errors:
InvalidFormatError- The format of the specified data object is not valid.
setAsync(datetime, callback)
Sets the delivery date and time of a message.
setAsync(datetime: Date, callback?: (asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<void>) => void): void;Parameters
- datetime
-
Date
The future date and time when the message should be sent.
- callback
-
(asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<void>) => void
Optional. When the method completes, the function passed in the callback parameter is called with a single parameter, asyncResult, which is an Office.AsyncResult object. Any errors encountered will be provided in the asyncResult.error property.
