# Create an Outlook.com email draft

Automatically create an Outlook.com email draft on outlook.live.com. Create a saved draft in Outlook.com (outlook.live.com) with a recipient, subject and body, without sending it. Returns the draft's row id, confirmed by reopening the Drafts folder and matching the text you supplied — never inferred from the composer. A malformed address is kept as typed rather than tokenised, and the draft still saves.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/outlook.live.com/create_draft`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/outlook.live.com/create_draft
```

## Input

- `to` (string, required): Recipient email address, e.g. someone@example.com
- `body` (string, optional): Plain text body of the draft.
- `subject` (string, optional): Subject line of the draft.

## Output

- `to` (string, required)
- `subject` (string | null, required)
- `verified` (boolean, required): True only when the saved draft was found by reopening Drafts and matching caller-supplied text. Never inferred from the composer, and never satisfied by an unrelated existing draft.
- `body` (string | null, optional)
- `draftId` (string | null, optional): Row id of the saved draft in Drafts, usable with get_email. Null when no matching row was found.
- `composed` (object | null, optional): What the composer itself held just before saving. Distinguishes a fill failure from a save failure.
- `unverifiedReason` (string | null, optional): Why verification did not succeed, when it did not.
