Create inferenceClassificationOverride

2025-07-23

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a focused Inbox override for a sender identified by an SMTP address. Future messages from that SMTP address will be consistently classified as specified in the override.

Note

If an override already exists with the same SMTP address, then the classifyAs and name fields of that override are updated with the provided values.
The maximum number of overrides supported for a mailbox is 1000, based on unique sender SMTP addresses.
The POST operation supports creating only one override at a time.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Mail.ReadWrite	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Mail.ReadWrite	Not available.
Application	Mail.ReadWrite	Not available.

Example

Request

The following example shows a request.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/inferenceClassification/overrides
Content-type: application/json

  "classifyAs": "focused",
  "senderEmailAddress": {
    "name": "Samantha Booth",
    "address": "samanthab@contoso.com"
  }
}


// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

using Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Models;

var requestBody = new InferenceClassificationOverride

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
