Answer 1

Hello @Manpreet Singh , you can get a list of contacts via the following request endpoint:

GET /me/contacts
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/contacts

Here is the documentation for reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list-contacts?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

If you're looking to retrieve a single Contact from a user's Contacts folder, this can be done using the $filter query parameter.

Answer 3

My client has below mentioned requirements:

1. Create contact lists dynamically from API, which contains particular category contacts like students/professionals/business and want to send a particular email template to all the contacts in respective contact list in a single email. Like he has an email template which is for students and he wants to send that template to the students list contacts in one go.
2. The above lists should be accessible to all the privileged users in AD in his company so they can send an email.

We know we cannot create contact lists in outlook with API because there is no API to create or get the contact lists of outlook. I am talking about these lists.

How can I achieve these.
