Question

Hello

I'm trying to create a Outlook contact by POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user_id}/contacts
It has been working for many days, but today stopped working recieving 500 Internal Server Error.

GET and DELETE methods for contacts endpoint are working fine. Need a solution for this ASAP.

Hi @Rubén Esteban Prado ,

I am able to create outlook contact using POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contacts

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contacts  
  
{  
    "givenName": "Pavel",  
    "surname": "Bansky",  
    "emailAddresses": [  
        {  
            "address": "******@fabrikam.onmicrosoft.com",  
            "name": "Pavel Bansky"  
        }  
    ],  
    "businessPhones": [  
        "+1 732 555 0102"  
    ]  
}  

500 Internal Server Errors are generally interim and retrying after some time should work, if you are consistently experiencing such errors, I would advise you to raise a support case with Microsoft Graph, a specialized Support Engineer will be able to assist you better.

You can raise technical support request from:
