Method Details
getAsync(options, callback)
Gets the start or end time of an appointment.
The date and time is provided as a Date object in the asyncResult.value property. The value is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). You can convert the UTC time to the local client time by using the convertToLocalClientTime method.
getAsync(options: Office.AsyncContextOptions, callback: (asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<Date>) => void): void;Parameters
- options
- Office.AsyncContextOptions
An object literal that contains one or more of the following properties:- asyncContext: Developers can provide any object they wish to access in the callback function.
- callback
-
(asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<Date>) => void
When the method completes, the function passed in the callback parameter is called with a single parameter of type Office.AsyncResult. The value property of the result is a Date object.
Returns
void

Examples
// Link to full sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/prod/samples/outlook/90-other-item-apis/get-set-start-appointment-organizer.yaml
Office.context.mailbox.item.start.getAsync((result) => {
if (result.status !== Office.AsyncResultStatus.Succeeded) {
console.error(`Action failed with message ${result.error.message}`);
return;
}
const time = result.value;
const localTime = Office.context.mailbox.convertToLocalClientTime(time);
console.log(`Appointment starts (local): ${localTime.month + 1}/${localTime.date}/${localTime.year}, ${localTime.hours}:${localTime.minutes}:${localTime.seconds}`);
});
setAsync(dateTime, options, callback)
Sets the start or end time of an appointment.
If the setAsync method is called on the start property, the end property will be adjusted to maintain the duration of the appointment as previously set. If the setAsync method is called on the end property, the duration of the appointment will be extended to the new end time.
The time must be in UTC; you can get the correct UTC time by using the convertToUtcClientTime method.
Important: In the Windows client, you can't use this method to update the start or end of a recurrence.
setAsync(dateTime: Date, options: Office.AsyncContextOptions, callback?: (asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<void>) => void): void;Parameters
- dateTime
-
Date
A date-time object in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
- options
- Office.AsyncContextOptions
An object literal that contains one or more of the following properties:- asyncContext: Developers can provide any object they wish to access in the callback function.
- callback
-
(asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<void>) => void
Optional. When the method completes, the function passed in the callback parameter is called with a single parameter of type Office.AsyncResult. If setting the date and time fails, the asyncResult.error property will contain an error code.
Returns
void
Remarks
Minimum permission level: read/write item
Applicable Outlook mode: Compose
Errors:
InvalidEndTime: The appointment end time is before the appointment start time.
