Hi all,
I am developing an outlook add-in that can be used to order a sandwich when creating an calendar entry in outlook. By default, outlook web add-ins are available when reading a mail. I want this add-in to be available when creating/updating a calendar entry.
In the documentation I found that the manifest file should include rule with type appointment:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/activation-rules
But this does not seem to work for me.
Mail add-in
Adding the addin to a mail works perfectly:
Procedure:
open any mail > 3 dots > get addins > my addins > add custom addin > select xml file
result:
- Helloworldaddin is available in every mail opened for reading.
- Helloworldaddin is not available for calendar events.
Calendar entry
If I use the same procedure in a calendar entry, nothing happens.
I don't even get a popup to add a custom add-in.
Procedure:
open calendar event > 3 dots > get add-ins >
Result:
no pup-up to add my add-in..
Has anyone any idea?
Big thanks
