  • Article

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 new or replace an existing user activity for your app. If you'd like to create a user activity and its related activityHistoryItems in one request, you can use deep insert.

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) UserActivity.ReadWrite.CreatedByApp Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) UserActivity.ReadWrite.CreatedByApp Not available.
Application Not supported. Not supported.

HTTP request

PUT /me/activities/{appActivityId}

Note: The appActivityId in the URL needs to be URL-safe (all characters except for RFC 2396 unreserved characters must be converted to their hexadecimal representation), but the original appActivityId does not have to be URL-safe.

Request headers

Name Type Description
Authorization string Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of an activity object.

Response

If successful, this method returns the 201 Created response code if the activity was created or 200 OK if the activity was replaced.
