I am using the Office365 Rest API's to integrate with our application.
Our application generates emails via templates, and then we need to open it as a draft in outlook so the user can make any adjustments before sending it.
The creation of emails is working just fine, and we get the #odata response.
In this response we are taking the weblink section and using this to open the draft email.
If we just use the section as is, the draft email is displayed in a new window, but there is no option there to send it, just to continue editing or discard. So the user has to select continue editing to be able to send it. This would be more useful of you could Is there an option to go straight to the editor? There is a viewmode parameter, but I couldn't find any information on it and trying anything other than viewmodel=ReadMessageItem just gave me a blank screen.
What we really want to be able to do is open the draft in the full outlook editor. From the documentation, this appears to be possible by adding ispopout=0 to the weblink (as mentioned in the resource reference for message). When we do this, the link does open the main outlook window, but it doesn't open the draft in the message pane, just displays the inbox. Is there something I'm missing here?
WebLink property provides you a URL for Outlook Web App window to read a mail the user has received, or a draft as if it was saved by the user. So, the user does have to click on "Edit" to make any changes or send the message. For your scenario, taking the user directly to the draft in "Edit" mode makes sense to avoid the extra click. We will add this feature to our backlog.
"ispopout=0" isn't yet supported and I don't have a timeline to share right now. This is intended for the user to land in Outlook Web App with the message displayed in Preview pane. More importantly, we require the URL returned in WebLink to be used as is, as it can change. So, if an app makes changes to the URL before using it, it could break in the future if the URL structure changes.

In my docusign account as shown below, I have only the option of where I only want to final, completed document sent to the sender as confirmation. However, I am still receiving all the emails like viewing and such and do not want those email. I just want the completed one. Is there a way to set this up in the API (xml) or in the Docusign account somewhere?

You are showing the admin setting.
Instead, go to https://appdemo.docusign.com/preferences/notifications to find your personal preferences (which you can also find from the top menu of web app, select "preferences"

Is it possible to modify email contents in outlook with yasoon?
I need to develop a plugin that opens html+js popup and inserts a link to email that user composes currently. Also I have to get list of recipients.
More details on what I want to archive is in this video(1.5 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JDh1NdIeUM
if its not possible with yasoon - how can I develop such functionality in outlook 2010/2013?
Your use case is fully supported by yasoon. We do something similar for Dropbox. However a heads up, there is also a way using the new Microsoft "Outlook Apps" to support this functionality. See the "Compose scenario" section. This would also allow you to run your app on Outlook.com website as well. yasoon only supports the standalone Outlook desktop client.
In case you need something more than just a simple html+js view and adding a link, like accessing the calendar (read, write), creating a ribbon button or new popup dialogs, feel free to check out our GitHub repo for code samples any time!
I bielive you can develop an Outlook add-in with a form region where you can choose and enter all the custom information. And then create a hyperlink and insert it in the body. See Walkthrough: Creating Your First Application-Level Add-in for Outlook to get started.
Also you may find the Creating Outlook Form Regions section in MSDN helpful.
My goal is to use a user's answers to a few questions to trigger custom emails being sent to them with filtered content on my wordpress website. It seems like this is a common need, but can't find anything that allows it, or even is the right base to build a custom solution.
There are 3 main features I'm needing to do: First, the signup form lets users choose a few criteria via selection boxes.
Next, the captured information triggers an email being sent that matches the content they chose. For example, if the user says they're interested in waterskiing, the email that is auto sent would show the most recent posts in the water-skiing category.
Finally, the user responses would need to be saved to trigger actions at a later time if the content is not available yet. So for example, if they are interested in bowling, but there are no entries on bowling, nothing happens. However, once a post gets entered in this category, they are automatically emailed with that recent entry.
Any clarity you can provide here on plugins, software, etc that would lend to this functionality is much appreciated!!
When users open a Send dialog (e.g. http://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=123050457758183&name=People%20Argue%20Just%20to%20Win&link=http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/15/arts/people-argue-just-to-win-scholars-assert.html&redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/response) they can add or remove people from the To: line.
Is there a way for the application to track who was in the To: line if and when the user actually pushes Send?
No.
At least not currently...
If you look at the official documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/send/ then you can see that this type of dialog does not expect a callback function as a parameter, and since there's no callback function then you have no way of knowing who and/or how many recipients were, and even if the dialog is closed/canceled/sent.
What you can do, though seems very complicated and well, a headache, is to use the outbox connection of the User object in the graph api (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/).
I've never used that before, but I guess that you can (if you ask for the read_mailbox permission) check the user messages before and after the dialog, and see what changed.
If a particular button, on a SharePoint list is selected, can I have a email sent to someone?
You'll probably need to wire an event handler into the list, which is going to require visual studio. I don't know think you can do it from designer.
Yes. You will need to create a workflow (in SharePoint Designer) to generate an email everytime that button/box is checked. In that email you can also specify the details you want to send over, linked to that item. (realy easy, does not require too much knowledge in SP Designer to do it).
