I have a situation where I would need to re-route messages to a different mailbox who would be the moderator. Programmatically - is there a way to approve the message I get in the moderator's mailbox? I dont see explicit support in EWS for it. Does any other API type that microsoft has support this?

This is not an official approved way but the following workaround worked for me to approve and reject messages in the moderator's mailbox!

Below is a Powershell code that does the job!

Things to Note:

Item Classes: $EmailMessage.ItemClass = "IPM.Note.Microsoft.Approval.Reply.Approve" $EmailMessage.ItemClass = "IPM.Note.Microsoft.Approval.Reply.Reject"

Subject - Use the Normalized subject from the approval Request email and then append Accept or Reject.

RecipientTo - Needs to be set to the Microsoft Exchange Approval Assistant Address.

For Example, to Reject a mail from the Moderator's Mailbox:

$PR_REPORT_TAG = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x0031,[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.MapiPropertyType]::Binary);
$VerbResponse = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExtendedPropertyDefinition([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.DefaultExtendedPropertySet]::Common,0x8524,[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.MapiPropertyType]::String);  

$ReportID = $null
[Void]$Item.TryGetProperty($PR_REPORT_TAG,[ref]$ReportID)
$EmailMessage.SetExtendedProperty($VerbResponse,"Reject")
$EmailMessage.SetExtendedProperty($PR_REPORT_TAG,$ReportID)

Do take a look at this link! It's nicely explained!

This isn't possible via the Graph or Outlook REST APIs.

You might be able to accomplish this using Transport Rules. There is a scenario documented for setting up an Email Approval Chain that sounds similar. This is a configuration procedure however, not a REST API.
