Microsoft Outlook Email ACTION
Get Message
Fetch a single email message by its Microsoft Graph message ID, including full body and optional attachments. Use Find Email first to search for messages and obtain a message
id; then call this tool to retrieve the full content. Set includeAttachments: true to expand attachment metadata — the id field of each attachment is required by Download Attachment. Example: after find-email(search="Eval-Festivus") returns a message with id: "AAMk...", call get-message(messageId="AAMk...", includeAttachments=true) to get the body text and attachment list.

Call this tool
Connect a user's Microsoft Outlook Email account once, then configure and run Get Message from your backend or agent.

projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,

})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
