Outlook - tasks (todo)

[jaleds]

Very nice work for Outlook with emails :-)

Any ideas of how to get access to tasks (todos) from Outlook?

As I understand the same data that is stored as tasks in Outlook Exchange server can also be found in the new todo app, refer to using-microsoft-to-do-with-outlook-tasks

First attempt is to access the data using Outlook API to get tasks - however as I read - this is deprecated,
task-rest-operation

The way forward might be to use the new todo-concept, refer to todo-concept-overview as the same data is stored at the exchange server and using the same credentials.

However, I cannot figure out how to use the API graph to access the todos.

To work with tasks, you need to have the "Tasks.readwrite" permission. This isn't set for the app registration that Microsoft365R uses, or any of the alternatives mentioned in #5.

If you want to play around with the todo API, you can try something like this.

perms <- c("user.read", "files.readwrite", "groups.readwrite.all", "tasks.readwrite")
perms <- paste0("https://graph.microsoft.com/", perms)
token <- AzureAuth::get_azure_token(
  c(perms, "openid", "offline_access"),
  tenant="yourtenant",  # or "consumers" for your personal account
  app=Microsoft365R:::.microsoft365r_app_id
)

gr <- AzureGraph::ms_graph$new(token=token)
me <- gr$get_user()

me$do_operation("todo/lists")
