    Outlook add-ins are integrations built by third parties into Outlook by using our web-based platform. Outlook add-ins have three key aspects:

    •The same add-in and business logic works across desktop (Outlook on Windows and Mac), web (Microsoft 365 and Outlook.com), and mobile.

    •Outlook add-ins consist of a manifest, which describes how the add-in integrates into Outlook (for example, a button or a task pane), and JavaScript/HTML code, which makes up the UI and business logic of the add-in.

    •Outlook add-ins can be acquired from AppSource or sideloaded by end-users or administrators.

    Outlook add-ins are different from COM or VSTO add-ins, which are older integrations specific to Outlook running on Windows. Unlike COM add-ins, Outlook add-ins don't have any code physically installed on the user's device or Outlook client. For an Outlook add-in, Outlook reads the manifest and hooks up the specified controls in the UI, and then loads the JavaScript and HTML. The web components all run in the context of a browser or webview control in a sandbox.

    Important

    Extension points are the ways that add-ins integrate with Outlook. The following are the ways this can be done.

    •Add-ins can declare buttons that appear in command surfaces across messages and appointments. For more information, see Add-in commands.

    •Add-ins can link off regular expression matches or detected entities in messages and appointments. For more information, see Contextual Outlook add-ins.

    •Protected by Information Rights Management (IRM) or encrypted in other ways for protection and accessed from Outlook on mobile devices. A digitally-signed message is an example since digital signing relies on one of these mechanisms.

    Important

To turn on this capability, a tenant administrator must enable the OBJMODEL usage right by setting the Allow programmatic access custom policy option in Office. For further guidance, see Usage rights and descriptions.

    •Starting in Outlook on Windows Version 1711 (Build 8711.1000) associated with a Microsoft 365 subscription, add-ins activate on digitally-signed messages.

    •A delivery report or notification that has the message class IPM.Report.*, including delivery and Non-Delivery Report (NDR) reports, and read, non-read, and delay notifications.
