-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
local http = chilkat.Http.new()
-- Use your previously obtained access token here:
-- See the following examples for getting an access token:
-- Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
-- Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
-- Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
-- Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
http.auth_token = "MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN"
-- To send mail, we'll POST to the following endpoint:
--
-- POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/sendMail
--
-- (The special keyword "me" may be used in place of a principal name.)
--
-- Load the files to be attached.
local attach1 = chilkat.BinData.new()
attach1:load_file("qa_data/pdf/fishing.pdf")
local attach2 = chilkat.BinData.new()
attach2:load_file("qa_data/msword/sample.docx")
-- The body of the POST request contains JSON that specifies the email subject, body,
-- recipients, etc. This example will build the following JSON plain-text email:
