This Snap provides the functionality to create appointments in Microsoft Exchange via the Microsoft Exchange web services. The Snap requires an input Exchange appointment record specific to the appointment to create and sends the request to Microsoft Exchange.  If the result is successful the ID is returned. However, if there is an error in performing the create, then the error view will contain the error message. 

• Expected upstream Snaps: A document is expected as an input into the Exchange Snap.  The upstream Snap can be either a JSON generator Snap or file Snap that reads in the document information to create the appointment.
• Expected downstream Snaps: A document is the expected output of the Exchange Snap with an ID for the meeting invite that was created.  The downstream Snap can be any Snap that consumes a document for example a file Snap or database Snap.
• Expected input: The following JSON is a sample of the input.

There are many additional fields that can be specified and the fields below are the minimum required fields to create an appointment:

{
    "requiredAttendees": "test@test.com",
    "subject": "test meeting",
    "body": "test meeting body",
    "start": "2014-1-18 11:00:00",
    "end": "2014-1-18 12:00:00",
    "location": "office" }

• Expected output: The following JSON is a sample of the output generated when a meeting has been successfully created:

[
   {
      "requiredAttendees":"test@test.com",
      "subject":"test meeting",
      "body":"test meeting body",
      "start":"2014-1-18 11:00:00",
      "end":"2014-1-18 12:00:00",
      "location":"office",
      "Id":{ "changeKey":"DwAAABYAAADsJ95dokZBSI4/bT7TSzJiAAAJPIVs", "uniqueId":"AAMkAGM4Y2Q2YmJlLWEyODktNDAxOS1hYzFiLTY0YjExYTg2ZmYxYQBGAAAAAADI1CKlDYCwTbXn+BLjIBxNBwDsJ95dokZBSI4/bT7TSzJiAAAAAAEOAADsJ95dokZBSI4/bT7TSzJiAAAJPB00AAA=" } }
]

• Expected usages: The main purpose of the Exchange Create Snap is to create appointments or meeting invites from Exchange.  The meeting invites can be sent to other exchange email accounts or to email accounts on different software platforms (such as GMAIL).
