Availability of OnMessageReadWithCustomHeader for Web and New Outlook on Windows

Max Saraev 25 Reputation points

Hello,

I would like to know when the OnMessageReadWithCustomHeader events will be available for Outlook on the web and the new Outlook for Windows. This feature is essential for our workflow, and we would appreciate any insights on its expected rollout timeline.

Is there an official roadmap or ETA for its release?

Thank you!

Hi @Max Saraev ,

Welcome to our forum!

Based on my research, i found that it's not available in Outlook on the web and the new Outlook for Windows. More information: Configure your Outlook add-in for event-based activation. And i didn't find any article mentioned when it will support.

    Hi @ChristyZhang-MSFT thanks for your reply. We appreciate the information you provided and have submitted a feature request. However, it does not clarify when the feature will be available. This is a highly valuable feature for Outlook add-ins and was previously available in COM add-ins.

    The OnMessageReadWithCustomHeader event is currently in preview and is available only in Classic Outlook on Windows. There is no information provided in the context regarding its availability for Outlook on the web or the new Outlook for Windows, nor is there an official roadmap or estimated timeline for its release in those platforms.
