iOS URL Scheme Microsoft Outlook App

Question

This seems impossible to find, unless perhaps there isn\'t one for it. But anyone know (if there is one) the iOS URL Scheme for opening the Microsoft Outlook Mobile App rig

Answer 1

Here is a link I found that helped me out with the IOS Outlook URL Scheme.

From that I was able to come up with this code:

// Create an array of recipients for the email.
NSArray* emailRecipients = @[@"example@email.com", @"example2@email.com"];

// Create a mutable string to hold all of the recipient email addresses and add the first one.
NSMutableString* emailTo = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:emailRecipients[0]];
// Loop through all of the email recipients except for the first one.
for (int index = 1; index < emailRecipients.count; index++)
{
    // Add a semicolon and then the email address at the current index.
    [emailTo appendFormat:@";%@", emailRecipients[index]];
}

// Get the email subject from the subject text field.
NSString* emailSubject = fieldSubject.text;
// Encode the string for URL.
NSString* encodedSubject = [emailSubject stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters:[NSCharacterSet URLHostAllowedCharacterSet]];
// Get the email body from the body text field.
NSString* emailBody = fieldBody.text;
// Encode the string for URL.
NSString* encodedBody = [emailBody stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters:[NSCharacterSet URLHostAllowedCharacterSet]];

// See if the subject or body are empty.
if (![emailSubject length] || ![emailBody length])
{
    // Exit.
    return;
}

// Create a string with the URL scheme and email properties.
NSString *stringURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"ms-outlook://compose?to=%@&subject=%@&body=%@", emailTo, encodedSubject, encodedBody];
// Convert the string to a URL.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
// Open the app that responds to the URL scheme (should be Outlook).
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

The URL scheme for Outlook is: ms-outlook://compose?to=example@email.com&subject=Subject&body=Message

Hope this helps!
