How to Send Meeting Invites Using Microsoft Graph API in C#

Learn how to send meeting invites using Microsoft Graph API in C# with this comprehensive guide. Simplify your process with clear, step-by-step instructions.

How to Send Meeting Invites Using Microsoft Graph API in C#

 

Integrate Microsoft Graph SDK

 

  • Microsoft Graph API interacts through requests to Microsoft's cloud services. To simplify C# interactions, integrate the Microsoft Graph SDK. Use NuGet to install the SDK in your project.
  •  

  • Open the NuGet Package Manager in your Visual Studio project and search for Microsoft.Graph to install the library.
  •  

 

Install-Package Microsoft.Graph

 

Authenticate with the Graph API

 

  • Before sending requests, authenticate using Azure AD. This involves getting an access token and configuring your application for necessary permissions (like Calendar.ReadWrite).
  •  

  • Use OAuth 2.0 authentication flow to get the access token. This involves registering your application in Azure AD and using client credentials or interactive user sign-in.
  •  

  • Consider implementing an authentication provider using Microsoft's InteractiveBrowserCredential from the Azure.Identity library for simple setups.
  •  

 

using Azure.Identity;
using Microsoft.Graph;

var clientSecretCredential = new ClientSecretCredential(
    "<tenant-id>",
    "<client-id>",
    "<client-secret>"
);

GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(clientSecretCredential);

 

Create a Calendar Event

 

  • Construct a new Event object specifying the details like subject, body, start time, end time, attendees, and location.
  •  

  • Ensure to format the timezone and date-time correctly using ISO 8601 as followed by Microsoft Graph API.
  •  

 

var @event = new Event
{
    Subject = "Meeting Invitation",
    Body = new ItemBody
    {
        ContentType = BodyType.Html,
        Content = "Please attend this meeting."
    },
    Start = new DateTimeTimeZone
    {
        DateTime = "2023-10-15T14:00:00",
        TimeZone = "Pacific Standard Time"
    },
    End = new DateTimeTimeZone
    {
        DateTime = "2023-10-15T15:00:00",
        TimeZone = "Pacific Standard Time"
    },
    Location = new Location
    {
        DisplayName = "Conference Room"
    },
    Attendees = new List<Attendee>
    {
        new Attendee
        {
            EmailAddress = new EmailAddress
            {
                Address = "user@example.com",
                Name = "User Name"
            },
            Type = AttendeeType.Required
        }
    }
};

 

Send the Meeting Invite

 

  • Use the GraphServiceClient instance to make a request to create the event in the user's calendar using the events API.
  •  

  • Specify the calendar, typically identified by the user's email or their unique ID.
  •  

  • Handle exceptions and responses to ensure proper feedback and logging.
  •  

 

try
{
    await graphClient.Users["<user-object-id>"].Events
        .Request()
        .AddAsync(@event);

    Console.WriteLine("Meeting invite sent successfully.");
}
catch (ServiceException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error sending invite: {ex.Message}");
}

 

Manage Permissions

 

  • Verify that your Azure AD application has all required Graph API permissions. At minimum, Calendars.ReadWrite permission is necessary to create and manage events.
  •  

  • Depending on your application scenario, consider using both delegated and application permissions for broader access rights.
  •  

  • Ensure that users consent to permissions if your app runs in a delegated permission mode.
