(screenshot that shows WebExtNotifications )
Is there a method to programmatically create a permanent notification like shown on the screenshot without "Dismiss this message" link?
If WebExtNotifications property is documented anywhere?
Thanks,
Victor Ivanidze
You can create a task pane aligned to the top. That pane is free to display anything it wants using any controls.
You could try to Office.NotificationMessages interface, it is returned as the notificationMessages property of an item.
For more information, Please refer to these links:

It's my first time developing add in for outlook, i'm tryng to do an add-in that interact with outlook calendar to find an appointment, but i can only show up the add-in when i create new appointment, is there any way to show it outside compose and read context? like viva insights do?
i found that this can be done with VSTO, but i need it to work also with web outlook and other os, if someone can help me to figure it out i will apreciate.
i tried to do it following the add-in doc
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/outlook-add-ins-overview#extension-points
i can't find an extension point that fits my purpose.
Thank you
Add-ins are only valid in Mail/Calendar individual item context currently. Hence, if no item (email / event) is selected, addins do not show-up or work - it does not know in which context it is suppose to run.
If your scenario requires it to run without email/event context, we suggest you to file a feature request here: https://aka.ms/M365dev-suggestions
Hello Outlook/Microsoft Team,
I would like to ask if there is a way to add our add-in icon to the "easy-access-toolbar" as shown in the image below. This toolbar (of outlook add-ins) is shown whenever you are reading email via the browser. Unfortunately, I could not find any guide or documentation on how to add a custom icon in this list.
After some investigations, I found that only add-ins from the market are added to this. Is my understanding correct? Or can a domain admin set this up? Or does this require a manifest entry?
Our outlook add-in is used exclusively by "enterprise" accounts. Thus, we did not deem it necessary to publish with the add-in store.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
I'm sure there's a simple way to do this that I am overlooking. But, how do you make a custom tab in the Ribbon.xml show up only in the new message compose window? I want to have my own tab so that the ribbon for my groups and buttons will be clean.
I am currently doing a workaround to invalidate the tab control when a new mail item event happens, but there must be a simpler way to do this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It's Outlook 2016 desktop in Windows 10.
Thank you.
Your ribbon XML must specify only Microsoft.Outlook.Mail.Compose - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/vsto/customizing-a-ribbon-for-outlook?view=vs-2019
I'm trying to create an Outlook Add-In that will forward the selected mail message as an attachment when the button is pressed. Preferably this will work both for the Outlook Client, and Outlook Web Access. To do this, I need to add a button to the main UI in Outlook which shows the list of messages.
However, within the new Add-In format, I don't see an ExtensionPoint for Outlook that allows adding a button to the main mail UI.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/reference/manifest/extensionpoint#extension-points-for-word-excel-powerpoint-and-onenote-add-in-commands
There are options for the MessageRead pane or the MessageCompose pane, but I don't see anything for the general overview.
However, the following New Feature complains that multiple mail items can't be selected with the add-in syntax, which seems to imply that a single mail item can be selected. If a single mail item can be selected, then that implies that there is a way to add a button to the overview mail page since that's the only place mail can be selected.
This makes me think it is possible to do this, but I'm not sure how.
Can someone please point me to how this might be done?
NOTE: I am NOT trying to create a COM plugin. That is the old format and I've noticed they're increasingly less reliable in Outlook 2016. I am trying to use the new format.
The MessageReadCommandSurface and MessageComposeCommandSurface extension points for Outlook applies to both the main Outlook window (the Explorer) and the item (Inspector) windows. The Explorer Ribbon buttons activate when an email is selected, so the buttons interact on the selected email. So you don't have to do anything if you've already defined those extension points.
I want to put custom button on CRM Mail merge window and on click of that button , i want to store that document in sharepoint site document library.
please check below screen
Is it possible to put custom button?
This is not possible in supported way.
like Andrii said this is not a supported method and i would try and stay clear of this solution if you can. I would suggest thinking about implementing your code for sharepoint into ribbon button inside of Microsoft Word.
