The Office Add-ins developer platform team has new updates to share this month on Office Add-in samples.
Encrypt attachments and more with Outlook event-based activation
Contributed by Eric Legault
This sample showcases how to use event-based activation in an Outlook add-in when the user composes an email or appointment/meeting request. It demonstrates how to run tasks based on events that fire when certain data changes when the user:
- adds an attachment to an email or appointment/meeting request
- adds recipients or distributions lists as required or optional attendees in a meeting request
- changes the start or end date or time in an appointment/meeting request
- adds a notification message to the item when a new email or appointment/meeting request is created, instructing the user to open the task pane for further information
Check out the code sample: Use Outlook event-based activation to encrypt attachments, process meeting request attendees and react to appointment date/time changes
