Microsoft Office 365 warning while adding external participants.
Hi folks,
I want to implement in my organization warning message as soon as any employee of my organization creating a new email and adding new external participants to get message that is he is sending email to external participants (before sending the email).
I have searched a lot and the only results i got is the warning message after receiving email from the external participants ( I already implemented it ).
The reason of this action is to avoid accidental confusion in emails with similar names of people inside the organization and those outside the organization.
Thanks!
Elad.

Andres- EladosCopper ContributorThanks Andres!
Mailtips is already enabled in our organization, now only left to change it to true.
There is an option to Enable it for specific users?
Thanks.- Andres-BohrenIron ContributorThat is a global Setting. Only "True/False" for the whole Exchange Organization is possible.

Hi Elados,
I have read your question carefully andI understand that you are looking for a way to display (or send) a warning message to employees when they are creating a new email and adding external participants, before they send the email.Unfortunately, Microsoft 365 does not provide a native feature to display a warning message before sending an email to external participants.
Microsoft 365 primarily focused on implementing warning messages for incoming emails from external sources.
Here's a general methods to consider for implementing a warning message before sending emails to external participants:Third-Party Add-Ins: Explore third-party add-ins or plugins designed for email security and compliance within Office 365. Some third-party solutions offer the ability to prompt users with a warning message before sending emails to external recipients. You can search for such add-ins in the Microsoft AppSource or contact third-party vendors specializing in email security and compliance.
Custom Development: If your organization has specific requirements and you have the development resources, you could consider developing a custom solution. This would typically involve using Office 365 APIs and custom code to create an add-in or extension that adds the desired functionality. This option would require technical expertise and resources for development, testing, and deployment.
Security Awareness Training: In addition to technical solutions, consider implementing security awareness training for your employees. Training can help them recognize the importance of being cautious when sending emails to external recipients and double-checking recipient addresses before hitting send.
Feedback to Microsoft: Microsoft periodically updates Office 365 with new features and enhancements based on user feedback and evolving security needs. If this is a critical feature for your organization, consider providing feedback to Microsoft through official channels. They may consider adding this capability in future updates.
