Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Caution

Existing apps that use this feature with baseTask or baseTaskList should be updated, as the to-do API set built on these resources is deprecated as of May 31, 2022. That API set will stop returning data on August 31, 2022. Please use the API set built on todoTask.

Retrieve the properties and relationships of a subscription.

See the table in the Permissions section for the list of resources that support subscribing to change notifications.

Permissions

Depending on the resource and the permission type (delegated or application) requested, the permission specified in the following table is the least privileged required to call this API. To learn more, including taking caution before choosing more privileged permissions, search for the following permissions in Permissions.

Note:

Some resources support change notifications in multiple scenarios, each of which may require different permissions. In those cases, use the resource path to differentiate the scenarios.

Permissions marked with * use resource-specific consent.

chatMessage

chatMessage subscriptions can be specified to include resource data. If specified to include resource data (includeResourceData set to true), encryption is required. The subscription creation fails if an encryptionCertificate isn't specified for such subscriptions. Before you can create a chatMessage subscription with application permissions, you might need to request access. For details, see Protected APIs in Microsoft Teams.

You must use the Prefer: include-unknown-enum-members request header to get the following values in chatMessage messageType evolvable enum: systemEventMessage for /teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages and /chats/{id}/messages resource.

Note

/teams/getAllMessages, /chats/getAllMessages, /me/chats/getAllMessages, /users/{id}/chats/getAllMessages, and /appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats/getAllMessages are metered APIs; payment models and licensing requirements may apply. /teams/getAllMessages and /chats/getAllMessages support both model=A and model=B payment models, /me/chats/getAllMessages, /users/{id}/chats/getAllMessages, and /appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats/getAllMessages support only model=B. If you don't specify a payment model in your query, the default evaluation mode will be used.

conversationMember

conversationMember subscriptions can be specified to include resource data. If specified to include resource data (includeResourceData set to true), encryption is required. The subscription creation fails if an encryptionCertificate isn't specified.

Note

/teams/getAllMembers, /chats/getAllMembers, and /appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats/getAllMembers are metered APIs; payment models and licensing requirements may apply. /teams/getAllMembers and /chats/getAllMembers support both model=A and model=B payment models. /appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats/getAllMembers supports only model=B. If you don't specify a payment model in your query, the default evaluation mode will be used.

team, channel, and chat

team, channel, and chat subscriptions can be specified to include resource data. If specified to include resource data (includeResourceData set to true), encryption is required. The subscription creation fails if an encryptionCertificate isn't specified.

Note

/appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats has licensing and payment requirements, specifically supporting only model=B. If no model is specified, evaluation mode will be used.

Request example

Specify the model query parameter in the resource property in the request body.

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

{
   "changeType": "created",
   "notificationUrl": "https://webhook.azurewebsites.net/api/send/myNotifyClient",
   "resource": "chats/getAllMessages?model=A",
   "expirationDateTime":"2016-11-20T18:23:45.9356913Z",
   "clientState": "secretClientValue",
   "latestSupportedTlsVersion": "v1_2"
}

driveItem

Additional limitations apply for subscriptions on OneDrive items. The limitations apply to creating as well as managing (getting, updating, and deleting) subscriptions.

On a personal OneDrive, you can subscribe to the root folder or any subfolder in that drive. On OneDrive for Business, you can subscribe to only the root folder. Change notifications are sent for the requested types of changes on the subscribed folder, or any file, folder, or other driveItem instances in its hierarchy. You cannot subscribe to drive or driveItem instances that are not folders, such as individual files.

contact, event, and message

You can subscribe to changes in Outlook contact, event, or message resources and optionally specify in the POST request payload whether to include encrypted resource data in notifications.

Creating and managing (getting, updating, and deleting) a subscription requires a read scope to the resource. For example, to get change notifications on messages, your app needs the Mail.Read permission. Outlook change notifications support delegated and application permission scopes. Note the following limitations:

Delegated permission supports subscribing to items in folders in only the signed-in user's mailbox. For example, you cannot use the delegated permission Calendars.Read to subscribe to events in another user’s mailbox.
To subscribe to change notifications of Outlook contacts, events, or messages in shared or delegated folders:
- Use the corresponding application permission to subscribe to changes of items in a folder or mailbox of any user in the tenant.
- Do not use the Outlook sharing permissions (Contacts.Read.Shared, Calendars.Read.Shared, Mail.Read.Shared, and their read/write counterparts), as they do not support subscribing to change notifications on items in shared or delegated folders.

onlineMeetings, presence

onlineMeetings and presence subscriptions require encryption for notifications with resource data. Subscription creation will fail if encryptionCertificate and encryptionCertificateId are not specified if resource data is desired in notifications. For details about online meeting subscriptions, see Get change notifications for online meetings.
