Nope, not even in the wayback machine.

Hi all!
FYI, looks like https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose not working anymore

New Calendar Link https://outlook.office.com/calendar/deeplink/compose

New Mail Link https://outlook.office.com/mail/deeplink/compose

(Still not finding official documentation)

Hi, doesn't seem to work on mobile, opens up the browser but just goes to the Inbox.

Does anyone know if there's a way to construct a deeplink to a specific calendar? Or a resource calendar? Currently you have to select it manually from a dropdown, and the option only appears there if you've selected the calendar in the 'main' OWA view (potentially from one of many hundreds, if you're part of lots of MS Teams)

Does anyone know of any official MS documentation regarding the https://outlook.office.com/mail/deeplink/compose endpoint?

Many sources use "calendar/0/deeplink/compose" but that doesn't work anymore, use "calendar/deeplink/compose" instead and it works!

@robinmalik Did you figure out the answer? I also have such issue

@robinmalik You can deeplink to the view of a calendar -
Mail
https://outlook.office.com/mail/someone@example.com/
Calendar
https://outlook.office.com/calendar/someone@example.com/view/month

The mail example link should start the query string with ?.
https://outlook.office.com/mail/deeplink/compose?to=service@domain.com&subject=Customer+Service+Request&body=Add+Your+Request+here

Does anybody know a way to define the CC-recipients as well?

Thanks @bodograuman. Updated.

the standard cc=and bcc= that gmail uses don't work, so I'm not sure if they're implemented.

You can deeplink to the view of a calendar - Mail https://outlook.office.com/mail/someone@example.com/ Calendar https://outlook.office.com/calendar/someone@example.com/view/month

@miwebguy Is there a way to combine this with the "new event" deeplink? I.e. a link that creates an event in a specific calendar?

EDIT: nevermind, got it, it's https://outlook.office.com/calendar/someone@example.com/deeplink/compose. The selected calendar says it's still my email address but that appears to be a visual bug, the title bar shows the correct calendar.
