(DataFlex) Office365 SMTP Send Email Client Credentials

See more Office365 Examples

Demonstrates how to send email using the Office365 SMTP server with OAuth2 client credentials. This example uses a new feature available starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.97, which is to provide the client ID, client secret, and tenant ID to Chilkat, and internally Chilkat will fetch OAuth2 access token via client credentials as necessary. Therefore, it is no longer necessary for the application to explicitly fetch the OAuth2 access token beforehand.

Note: This requires the Azure Entra ID application to be configured for client credentials as detailed in this guide: Office365 App Setup for SMTP, POP, IMAP OAuth2 Client Credentials

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.97 or greater.
