MailboxSetting TimeZone

Posted on by AndrewC Microsoft Employee

I would like to access the Graph APIs

https://outlook.office.com/api/beta/${user}/MailboxSettings/TimeZone

to display what Time Zone a person is in.

I can get First(EmployeeProfile).City and First(EmployeeProfile).Mail

I was hoping for something like First(EmployeeProfile).MailboxSettings.TimeZone

but there isn't anything like that.

Is there a way to get a users mailbox timezone setting?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi @AndrewC ,

Do you want to get a user's mailbox timezone setting?

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I afraid that there is no direct way to achieve your needs. Currently, there is no action supported in Office 365 Outlook connector to retrieve the Mailbox timezone setting of a specific user.

As an alternative solution, I think custom connector could achieve your needs. On your side, you could consider set up a custom connector based on Microsoft Graph Rest API, then define a proper action path within this custom connector to retrieve the Mailbox timezone settings for a specific user using the following action path url:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{id|userPrincipalName}/mailboxSettings

or

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailboxSettings

Please check the following article for more details:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-get-mailboxsettings?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

More details about creating a custom connector in PowerApps, please check the following blog or video:

Please take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Thanks, I'm seeing that same constraint when trying to get someone else's time zone.

Testing the solution out with aka.ms/ge (graph explorer), I'm getting "Access Denied" for other mailboxes.
The following works for me but not for someone else, even as a custom connector.

As feedback, since many users switch their time zones in Outlook, having access to that data would true simplify scheduling and calling people when they are traveling. Can we get that attribute moved up to a Read by others?

Thanks
