Hi @Sajith Gopalakrishnan Hema

The https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/micrsoft.graph.sendmail is not a valid API endpoint, if you want to call the graph API to send email, the correct endpoint should be:

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/sendMail
Content-type: application/json

{
  "message": {
    "subject": "Meet for lunch?",
    "body": {
      "contentType": "Text",
      "content": "The new cafeteria is open."
    },
    "toRecipients": [
      {
        "emailAddress": {
          "address": "******@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"
        }
      }
    ],
    "ccRecipients": [
      {
        "emailAddress": {
          "address": "******@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "saveToSentItems": "false"
}

You can put your access token in the Authorization parameter:

Hello @Sajith Gopalakrishnan Hema

Thanks for reaching out!

This error message "CompactToken parsing failed with error code: 80049217" generally occurs when the token used is invalid. I'm able to reproduce the error message when I'm passing token in a wrong way (in request headers). The correct way to pass a token in a parameter is (“Bearer”+space+token ).

Please refer to this similar post.

Hope this helps.
