MailDelta

Summary

  • Tracks message changes efficiently (new/updated/deleted) using delta queries. Useful for sync and polling scenarios.

Graph Endpoint

  • Recommended (folder‑scoped): GET /me/mailFolders/{id}/messages/delta

  • Root (may be unsupported in some tenants): GET /me/messages/delta

  • Continue: call the returned nextLink or deltaLink

See also: MailFolderList — to discover folder IDs.

Parameters

Optional

  • select: string[]

  • top: number — 1..100

  • folder: string — Folder id or well‑known name

  • nextLink: string — Continuation link

  • deltaLink: string — Use to resume from last sync state

Usage (app.businessFunction)

Initial sync

app.businessFunction({
  functionName: 'MicrosoftGraph',
  methodName: 'Mail',
  operation: 'Delta',
  parameters: {
    folder: 'inbox',
    select: ['id','subject','from','receivedDateTime','isRead','webLink'],
    top: 50
  }
})
app.businessFunction({
  functionName: 'MicrosoftGraph',
  methodName: 'Mail',
  operation: 'Delta',
  parameters: {
    nextLink: 'https://graph.microsoft.com/...',
    // or deltaLink: 'https://graph.microsoft.com/...'
  }
})

Response

{
  "items": [
    { "id": "...", "subject": "...", "isRead": false },
    { "id": "...", "removed": true, "removedReason": "deleted" }
  ],
  "nextLink": "...",
  "deltaLink": "..."
}

Notes

  • In some tenants or configurations, calling delta at the root messages level (/me/messages/delta) can return an error like: “Unsupported request: Change tracking is not supported against 'microsoft.graph.message'.”

  • Prefer folder‑scoped delta by specifying folder (e.g., 'Inbox' or a folder id). Use MailFolderList to discover folder IDs.
