Research direction

Start with the Microsoft Graph subscription resource URL documentation and compare its supported query parameters with the posted payload, especially $select=body and $select=bodyPreview. Check the linked Stack Overflow discussion for context. Done means documenting a supported way to receive the full body or clearly confirming the API limitation and expected alternative.

Description

Description

I'm encountering an issue while attempting to create a subscription to receive change notifications, including resource data, in the Microsoft Graph API. Here's the payload I'm using:

{
    "changeType": "created",
    "notificationUrl": "<URL>",
    "resource": "me/mailFolders('Inbox')/messages?$select=body",
    "expirationDateTime": "2024-02-26T21:00:00.000Z",
    "latestSupportedTlsVersion": "v1_2",
    "includeResourceData": "true",
    "encryptionCertificate": "<SOME VALUE>",
    "encryptionCertificateId": "<SOME VALUE>"
}

However, upon sending a POST request with this payload, I'm encountering the following error message:

$top, $skip, $orderby, $select=body,uniqueBody and $expand other than singleValueExtendedProperties,multiValueExtendedProperties are not supported in subscription resource Url.

This error suggests that including $select=body in the resource URL is not permitted. If I exclude $select=body, I encounter a different error:

"select clause should be present in query string to support rich notifications"

This indicates that a select clause is required in the query string to support rich notifications.
Additionally, when I attempted to use $select=bodyPreview, I only received a truncated version of the body limited to 255 characters.

My objective is to receive change notifications including the entire body of the resource. I'm seeking guidance on how to achieve this.

I also created a post on StackOverFlow : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78057126/select-body-not-working-while-creating-subscription-microsoft-graph-api
