I have created an O365 group which comes with a default calendar. I also created a sample Outlook add-in to be displayed on the Appointment Surface adding the following in my manifest.xml -
<ExtensionPoint xsi:type="AppointmentOrganizerCommandSurface">
After enabling this add-in in my Outlook desktop application (Windows 10), it doesn't appear on the Appointment surface of my O365 group calendar. Although it appears on my primary calendar's appointment surface.
Am I missing anything here?
Currently the feature: addin in group calendar, you requested, is not a part of the product. 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.

We have an Office Web add-in that is targeting the Appointment Items in Outlook (the calendar). It failed validation because, it was not possible to use it with gmail:
Functionality
1120.3.3 Office Compatibililty
The add-in did not pass compatibility tests for Gmail.
I was thinking about if i can we detect what the current account type is from the:
Office.context.mailbox.userProfile
However i am uncertain about what properties are available and if any can tell me if it is an Exahnge Account the user is running on
Please help?

Outlook web add-ins are showing grayed out in a delegate calendar in Outlook Desktop app on appointments/meetings windows. By delegate calendar I mean a calendar shared with me by another person in the company, with full permissions on share - so I can create/edit meetings/appointments from his calendar from my personal profile. Please see pictures below.
The web add-ins are not grayed out in Outlook Web App. There they work just fine, so it looks to me like a Outlook Desktop App-only issue.
This came as a complaint from one of our customers.
Delegate Access support for Mail/ Calendar across Outlook end points (except Mobile) is currently in preview. You can check out the documentation here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/reference/objectmodel/preview-requirement-set/outlook-requirement-set-preview#delegate-access
and give it try with the latest Outlook build.
Making the feature generally available is in progress and we hope to release soon but we cannot share a specific timeline at this stage.
We're using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 with Outlook (Office 365). All very new so we have the latest versions of each. Users track emails from Outlook using the 'Set Regarding' function. The tracking is working fine, with 1 major exception. When someone replies to a tracked email, the reply is tracked correctly in CRM, however in the Outlook client there is nothing to show the email is tracked. I.e. normally you would expect to see the little CRM icon (green and blue people), and also a CRM at the footer of the email with details about the tracking. Instead it just looks like a normal email, notwithstanding that it is indeed tracked in CRM. The original tracked email shows correctly (with the green and blue icon and the CRM footer). It's just the replies that are not appearing correctly.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Unfortunately, there are two tracking methods for Dynamics CRM: automatic tracking and manual tracking.
When an email is tracked by the automatic tracking, the UI in CRM for Outlook (Outlook add-in) will not reflect that.
We are planning to improve this when using the new CRM App for Outlook (office app).

Does the new Microsoft Outlook API, which enables development of Outlook addins for cross platform, have the ability to trigger an event off the user clicking the send button?
I currently have an Outlook VSTO addin that uses the Application.ItemSend event to check an email for specific content and present the user with a popup asking them if they still want to send or not. This is only compatible with Outlook 2007-16 on Windows though, and I was hoping the new API might enable me to build something similar for Outlook on Mac/mobile/web, but I haven't found any examples or documentation on this particular event trigger yet.

Some support for handling a "send" event was recently added for Outlook Add-ins.
There are several limitations, so be sure to read all the documentation. In particular, this is currently only supported in the Web version of Outlook, and the send event feature cannot be used in any add-ins that will be published in the Office Store.
No, there is no such event. It will most likely be added in the future from what I hear...
thank you for taking the time to read this. I have a client who wants a button to be placed on the Appointment form that, when clicked, opens a copy of the Appointment form inside of Outlook as opposed to CRM. I've been looking at Microsoft.Crm.Outlook.SDK and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook but neither of of them seems to have any methods that jump out as being able to accomplish this. Has anyone run into this that could possibly point me towards an example or a decent tutorial? I've been checking google and the msdn as well but I'm not having any luck. Thank you.
The CRM client can be accessed through a browser or through outlook. If a user is accessing CRM through the outlook client and he opens a link to an appointment - then that appointment will open within outlook. If the user is accessing CRM through a web browser I do not think it is possible to launch an appointment though the web browser directly.
What you could do is generate an outlook appointment (.ics) file - through code - when the user opens this file it will open in Outlook by default. There is a format for creating iCalendar or outlook appointment (.ics) files - just google it - plenty of examples of creating them though code.
