FAQ

Questions about update-focused-inbox-override

What does the update-focused-inbox-override tool do? +

Change the classifyAs field of an override as specified. You cannot use PATCH to change any other fields in an inferenceClassificationOverride instance. If an override exists for a sender and the sender changes his/her display name, you can use POST to force an update to the name field in the existing override. If an override exists for a sender and the sender changes his/her SMTP address, deleting the existing override and creating a new one with the new SMTP address is the only way to 'update' the override for this sender. 💡 TIP: Updates the classifyAs field of an existing override. Body: { classifyAs: 'focused' } or { classifyAs: 'other' }. Per Graph API, PATCH cannot change senderEmailAddress — to change the SMTP address, delete and recreate the override. To rename the display name only, POST a new override with the same SMTP address (it will overwrite the name).
