Account Setup

You will need to have a valid Microsoft Personal Account AND you will require Administrative access unfortunately (to access the Mail.Send and Mail.ReadWrite Application Permission). More details can be found here about registering your app with Azure.

  1. From the Azure Portal go to App Registrations (alt link)
    • Use the search bar at the top of the Azure Portal and type App Registrations.
    • If you still can't access anything, it's possible your organisation restricts you from doing so. You may need to reach out to to your administrator in order to proceed.
      Office 365
  2. Click Register an application
    • give any name (your choice) in Name field
    • select personal Microsoft accounts only
    • Click Register
  3. From here (the Overview panel) you can acquire both the Directory (tenant) ID and the Application (`client_id') you will need.
  4. To create your client_secret , go to Active Directory -> Certificate & Tokens -> New client secret
    • The client_secret is an auto-generated string which may have @ and/or ? character(s) in it. You will need to encode these characters to when pasting this into your Apprise URL. See the note section above for more details on how to do this.
  5. Now need to set permission Active directory -> API permissions -> Add permission.
  6. Click on Microsoft Graph
  7. Click on Application Permissions and search for Mail.Send; You will want to check this box too on the match found.
  8. Additionally grant access to the (Application Permission) Mail.ReadWrite scope to allow the sending of large attachments (> 3MB in size). Mail.ReadWrite allows Apprise to prepares a Draft message with the large attachment so that it can be sent thereafter.
  9. Additionally grant access to the (Application Permission) User.Read.All if you intend to pass in an ObjectID as the source and not an email. Apprise will use the ObjectID to acquire the email associated with the account; this is nessisary to be able to support the From portion of the email address.
  10. Now you're good to go. 🙂

Syntax:

  • o365://{source}/{tenant_id}/{client_id}/{client_secret}/
  • o365://{source}/{tenant_id}/{client_id}/{client_secret}/{targets}

Parameter Breakdown

Variable Required Description
source Yes The Email OR the **ObjectID associated with your Azure Account you whish to send the email from.
tenant_id Yes The Tenant ID Associated with your Azure Application you created. This can also be referred to as your Directory ID.
account_email Yes The Email Associated with your Azure account.
client_id Yes The Client ID (also referred to as an Application ID) associated with your Azure Application you created. This can also be referred to as your Application ID.
client_secret Yes You will need to generate one of these; this can be done through the Azure portal (Also documented below).
from No If you want the email address ReplyTo address to be something other then your own email address, then you can specify it here.
to No This will enforce (or set the address) the email is sent To. By default the email is sent to the address identified by the account_email

Notes:

  • If no targets are specified, then the notification is just sent to the address identified by {account_email}
  • Unfortunately the client_secret contains a lot of characters that can drastically conflict with standard URL rules (and thus Apprise might have difficulty detecting your client secret). The ? and @ characters can get generated by Microsoft and will almost definitely cause you issues.
    • Consider encoding this client secret before putting it into your Apprise URL. Encoding the URL can be as simple as just pasting it into the form on this website.
    • You can also just manually escape these characters on your Apprise URL yourself manually (explained here). Simply swap all instances of:
      • ? with %3F
      • @ with %40

Example

Send a email notification to our your Office 365 account:

# Assuming our {tenant_id} is ab-cd-ef-gh
# Assuming our {account_email} is chuck.norris@roundhouse.kick
# Assuming our {client_id} is zz-yy-xx-ww
