Closed this issue · 6 comments
Provide required information needed to triage your issue
I am trying to get a signature applied when any kind of mail is created and I have created a launchevent with OnNewMessageCompose but it works everywhere except Outlook version 16.0.7019 or later. And I can't get any log or anything.
Your Environment
- Platform [PC desktop, Mac, iOS, Office on the web]:Desktop
- Host [Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.]: Outlook
- Operating System: Windows
Expected behavior
My idea is that users tran configure their signatures can create the mail and have the signature applied correctly without having to reopen the taskpane but the event is not triggered.
Current behavior
All other actions work correctly, the only thing that doesn't work is the launchevent.
Useful logs

And this is the desktop-launchevent.js:
/* global console, Office, loadSignature */
// The OnNewMessageCompose event handler that adds a signature to a new message.
async function onNewMessageComposeHandler(event) {
await loadSignature({ event }).catch((error) => {
console.log("Error loading signature: ");
console.log(error);
});
}
// IMPORTANT: To ensure your add-in is supported in the Outlook client
// on Windows, remember to map the event handler name specified in the
// manifest's LaunchEvent element to its JavaScript counterpart.
const officePlatform = Office.context?.platform;
if (officePlatform === Office.PlatformType.PC || officePlatform == null) {
Office.actions.associate("onNewMessageComposeHandler", onNewMessageComposeHandler);
}
The function of loadSignature works because it´s used in other classes but here it doesn´t work
Something new?? Because I see that I´am not the only one with the launchEvent problems
LaunchEvents in "Old" Outlook, run in a JSRuntime instead of a WebView. It also only supports ECMAScript 2016.
I believe your calls to await calls are not allowed. You can also turn on runtime logging to maybe get some more insights here.
I tried everything and the event doesn´t lunch, I don´t what else to do.
What's the current code in your launchEvent.js file?
