It is not really clear what you are wanting to do. However, see the following page of Greg Maxey's website

The following xml code adds a custom button to the Mailings tab of the ribbon

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab idMso="TabMailings">
<group id="customGroup" label="Merge Special" insertAfterMso="GroupMailMergeFinish">
<button id="customButton" label="Merge to Word and PDF" size="large" imageMso="ExportToVCardFile" onAction="MergetoWordPDF" />
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>

Additionally, I'm using the new syntax of XML Manifest, such as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/office/dev/add-ins/develop/add-in-manifests?tabs=tabid-1
