FAQ
Asked first, every time.
Don't see yours here? Send us the question — a principal engineer will reply within 24 hours.
Yes, modern Office JS add-ins can be configured to work on Outlook for iOS and Android, in addition to Windows, Mac, and the web.
Yes, with the appropriate permissions, the add-in can read the sender, recipients, subject, body, and attachments to process data or sync with a CRM.
Yes, using Outlook's event-based activation (ItemSend event), we can validate the email content and block it from sending if it violates compliance rules.
Extremely secure. The add-in operates in a sandboxed environment, uses Azure AD for authentication, and communicates only via secure, encrypted API endpoints.
We configure the manifest for `OnMessageSend` events. When a user clicks send, the add-in executes a background script to scan the body and attachments for PII, allowing us to block the email if a policy violation is detected.
Yes, we build add-ins that allow users to report suspicious emails with one click. The add-in automatically extracts the email headers, body, and attachments, securely forwarding them to your Security Operations Center via API.
Using Event-Based Activation, we intercept the send event and display a custom dialog box forcing the user to select a classification label (e.g., Internal, Confidential). The email will not send until a valid selection is made.
Office JS runs in an isolated, sandboxed browser control. It cannot execute local executables, read the local file system, or arbitrarily access mailboxes outside of the currently selected message or configured Graph API permissions.
Yes. We utilize the `OnNewMessageCompose` event to trigger a background script that fetches the user's latest title and phone number from Azure AD (via Graph API) and injects a formatted HTML signature directly into the body.
Because modern add-ins are web-based, true offline functionality is limited. However, we utilize HTML5 LocalStorage and IndexedDB to cache critical settings and data, ensuring the UI remains responsive during spotty connections.
