In the Outlook calendar i want to trigger Outlook creates event functionality in my outlook add-ins when I open the Outlook calendar, Is there are any handlers available for this use case?
I want to trigger create the event functionality in the outlook add-ins using the rest-API when I open the Outlook calendar.
Any handler is available for this, the outlook calendar open ?
Thanks in Advance.
Outlook web add-ins are working under the context of current item only. You can't handle folder's change events like you could in case of COM add-ins. The event-based activation mechanism recently introduced is described in the Configure your Outlook add-in for event-based activation article. This feature enables your add-in to run tasks based on certain events, particularly for operations that apply to every item (not folder). You can also integrate with the task pane and UI-less functionality.

i'm running timer on task pane Add-in in outlook. when user inactive means if user switch to other tab I need to stop timer and when user back click on outlook mail, I need to resume timer. can anyone guide how to do this?
OfficeJS doesn't provide any events for that. You may consider posting your suggestion to the Tech Community at https://aka.ms/M365dev-suggestions, feature requests are considered when the team goes through our planning process. Don't forget to use the Github label: “Type: product feature request”.
In case of COM based add-ins (VSTO) you could handle the Inspector.Activate an Inspector.Deactivate events for the inspector windows in Outlook. If you need to deal with Explorer windows you may consider using the Explorer.Activate
I'm researching sync new events to outlook calendar from outlook add-ins , I am try to sync new events from outlook add ins to outlook calendar, i am able to sync events using REST API (me/events) in outlook add ins to click the sync button
but i want sync new events data without open my add-ins ,sync events every time open outlook calendar , any possible to trigger sync event when i open an outlook calendar , it is possible or not ,any handler is available ?
Any tips?
There is no such an event for web-based add-ins. See Activation rules for contextual Outlook add-ins for more information. You may consider developing VSTO based add-in to synchronize calendars automatically.
Also you may consider placing a ribbon button which can start the sync process. Read more about that in the Add-in commands for Outlook article.

Currently, the Outlook add-in framework supports OnNewMessageCompose and OnNewAppointmentOrganizer events as part of 1.10 API set.
Additionally, you refer to the documentation for outlook events. There are other events that are currently in preview.
I'm trying to develop an add-in in office outlook where add-in should automatically read incoming emails and process my logic to it. I have developed the functionality when I have to specifically click the email to process my logic. But I want the functionality where the add-in should automatically process all incoming emails without manually clicking them.
Have implemented below points as of now:
outlook pinnable task pane
Item Changed Event
Office.context.mailbox.addHandlerAsync(Office.EventType.ItemChanged, ItemChanged);
function ItemChanged(eventArgs) {
/*code*/
}
This is currently not possible. The addins are tied to the item in the view and hence the item needs to be selected for the add-in to work on. We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user voice page. Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered, when we go through our planning process.
Whenever I have an add-in open in outlook, it closes immediately when I open a different email. Is there a way to keep an add-in open while I browse through multiple emails? Or is outlook coded in such a way that forces the add-in to close every time you click on a different email?
Thanks.
As far as I understand your questions you are the user of the Outlook Add-on. If this is correct, you will not be able to change this behavior. Every time you switch the item you would need to click to invoke the add-on once again. You may also contact the developers of this add-on and request them to implement a pinnable taskpane with explanation of your business case.
Well, if I was wrong and you are the developer of this add-on, you should look at pinnable taskpane in Outlook. This would cover exactly the case you have described. What you would need to do is just support VersionOverrides v1.1 schema in your add-on manifest as well as register and implement the Office.EventType.ItemChanged event handler in your add-on JS implementation.
