I'm trying to build an Outlook add-in which displays a confirmation before sending the appointment invitation. I tried to follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/outlook-on-send-addins and use the sample code provided in https://github.com/OfficeDev/Outlook-Add-in-On-Send with small changes.
For some reason, seems like the event is not caught. Can anyone help?
I have asked our office365 admin to create the policy which has set the flag OnSendAddinsEnabled
Get-CASMailbox xxx@xx.xx | fl OwaMailboxPolicy
OwaMailboxPolicy : CostEstimationPolicy
Get-OwaMailboxPolicy CostEstimationPolicy | fl onsend*
OnSendAddinsEnabled : True
