// The following example checks whether a location is specified in an appointment before it's sent.
function onAppointmentSendHandler(event) {
    Office.context.mailbox.item.location.getAsync({ asyncContext: event }, asyncResult => {
        const event = asyncResult.asyncContext;
        if (asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
            console.log(asyncResult.error.message);
            // If the add-in is unable to retrieve the appointment's location, the appointment isn't sent.
            event.completed({ allowEvent: false, errorMessage: "Failed to get the appointment's location." });
            return;
        }

        if (asyncResult.value === "") {
            // If no location is specified, the appointment isn't sent and the user is alerted to include a location.
            event.completed(
                {
                    allowEvent: false,
                    cancelLabel: "Add a location",
                    commandId: "msgComposeOpenPaneButton",
                    contextData: JSON.stringify({ a: "aValue", b: "bValue" }),
                    errorMessage: "Don't forget to add a meeting location.",
                    sendModeOverride: Office.MailboxEnums.SendModeOverride.PromptUser
                }
            );
        } else {
            // If a location is specified, the appointment is sent.

        }
    });
}

For example, an add-in that handles the OnMessageSend or OnAppointmentSend event can set allowEvent to false to cancel the sending of an item. For a complete sample, see the Smart Alerts walkthrough.
errorMessage	When you use the completed method to signal completion of an event handler and set its allowEvent property to false, this property sets the error message that will be displayed to the user. For an example, see the Smart Alerts walkthrough.
