For the "Get presence" API what are the valid combinations of availability and activity

Eli Man 0

For this "Get presence" API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/presence-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

it returns an object with availability and activity which could each have multiple values according to this page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/presence?view=graph-rest-1.0

Could I confirm what are the valid combinations of availability and activity that the API could produce? e.g. the combination of activity=Available & availability=Offline does not sound possible, so are you able to produce a list of the valid combinations that can be expected?

Hello Yakun, thank you for your reply

Thank you for the link to the page, however the states are written in natural language so just to be clear, can I confirm that the possible combinations as the possible values from API are as below based on the linked page?

If so can I confirm when the UrgentInterruptionsOnly , Inactive , OffWork activities might appear?

Also what is the BusyIdle availability and what are its valid activities?

Availability	Activity	Notes/queries
Available	Available, AvailableIdle, OutOfOffice	Assuming this also includes AvailableIdle? also what does it mean?
Busy	Busy, InACall, InAConferenceCall, InAMeeting, OutOfOffice	Assuming this also includes InAConferenceCall
DoNotDisturb	DoNotDisturb	Assuming the only activity is DoNotDisturb
Away	Away	What is "Away Last Seen time" is this a special activity or just "Away"?
BeRightBack	BeRightBack	Assuming BeRightBack is the only activity
Offline	Offline, PresenceUnknown, OutOfOffice	Assuming "Appear offline" means Offline availability

Hello Yakun,

Thank you for the response. Based on the linked page can I confirm the possible activities for each availability are as below?

(Format is "Availability -> [List of activities]")

Available -> Available, OutOfOffice

Busy -> Busy, InACall, InAConferenceCall, InAMeeting, OutOfOffice (Assuming InAConferenceCall is included here)

DoNotDisturb -> DoNotDisturb, Presenting, (Focusing=?) (What is the activity when focusing?)

Away -> Away, (Away Last Seen time=?) (is "Away Last Seen time" a special activity or is it just Away?)

BeRightBack -> BeRightBack (assuming this is the only status)

Offline -> Offline, PresenceUnknown, OutOfOffice (assuming Appear offline means activity is "Offline")

PresenceUnknown -> PresenceUnknown (assuming this availability has this activity)

If this is accurate could you please confirm:

What the activities are for the BusyIdle availiability?

When are the following activites used Inactive, OffWork, UrgentInterruptionsOnly?

For your question, we suggest you find the answer in this document.

And your question is more oriented to teams, since I'm a Graph API support person, I'm not very good at teams status information, so if you have further questions about that, I suggest you ask a new question and include the teams tag.
