Note: This article is for Microsoft Lync 2013, which is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Setting Presence

This is achieved by a single POST to the interface.

POST /ucwa/oauth/v1/applications/12345678/me/presence

With the POST data being:

{"availability":"Online"}

Information: the "availability" value can contain any currently permitted presence state, including "Online", "Away", "Busy", etc.

By default, UCWA will send Instant Messages as plain text. You can, however, add HTML as a modality in order to send rich text messages via IM.

This is achieved by a single POST to the interface.

POST /ucwa/oauth/v1/applications/12345678/me/makeMeAvailable

With the POST data being:

{"SupportedModalities":["Messaging"],"supportedMessageFormats":["Plain","Html"]}
