outlook-web-addins

I'm creating an Office 365 add-in for Outlook. I want my add-in to run automatically when user reads email (opens it in reading pane). My current version displays add-in name in top of mail body and when I click it add-in runs. Office.initialize = function (reason) { $(document).ready(function () { displayItemDetails(); }); }; I would also like to hide that add-in button and just run it behind the scene. Gab Royer The Office Add-In platform does not currently allow apps to auto-launch themselves in the way you're describing. Feel free to request this functionality on the Office Extensibility

I'm trying to enable outlook web add-in for mobile by making below changes in manifest file but the installation fails and throws below error. Error Message: Manifest file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!--Created:ce44715c-8c4e-446b-879c-ea9ebe0f09c8--> <OfficeApp xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/appforoffice/1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:bt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/officeappbasictypes/1.0" xmlns:mailappor="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.0" xsi:type="MailApp"> <!-- Begin Basic Settings: Add-in

Is it possible to drag an attachment or e-mail to an Outlook Web-Addin. The add-in is available to either Outlook 365 (Web) or the main client My assumption is no - as it is a sandboxed boundary, but I have heard about people running applications in the system tray to intercept the mouse drag event? Is this viable? are there any security risks with this approach? Thank you Rich System tray interception is not a viable solution, not only because of security concerns, but because of deployment reasons. Add-ins functionality and entry points should be entirely described by their manifest files

Background We are having users complain about links ( <a href="..."> ) from our Outlook addin not opening in their default browser. Some see that Google Chrome (default) is opening, which is the intended behavior. But some see that IE is opening regardless of what the default browser is. I suspect this may have something to do with the version of Outlook - but I haven't been able to pinpoint how and what. Maybe it has got something to do with the IE version on the computer since the addin window should be running in IE. Perhaps even the version of Windows. The users that have seen the issue so

I´m new to the addins, just want to perform a simple task as creating a button with a link in the taskbar that opens a browser and that´s it. So far created the project based on ms tutorial and everything is working great (with fixed certificate problems). To my understand this should be as easy as to create a button with an ExecuteFuncion actions mapping to a javascript function with a window.open e.g. function windowOpen(event) { window.open("https://www.microsoft.com"); event.completed(); } Thanks for the help, Regards, André For security reasons, Outlook does not support window.open
