I'm developing an application for Outlook OWA (Office 365). The application is actually very useful for our organization, but have a problem. The application send information using the .post() method of jQuery when a submit button is pressed. How can I attach this task to the "Send" button of Outlook when is being pressed?
Normally, you would need to handle the Application.ItemSend event. I don't however see how you can use that from your Java code.
How exactly do you display or send the message through Outlook? Does that happen on the client side? Do you just use a mailto link?

I want to send a email automatically with JS.
I use the next code to open a window with outlook with a mail with the information that I want.
Now I want to send the mail with JS. I need to "click" the send button automatically of the Outlook interface. Any ideas? Maybe with an Ajax /JQuery?
If anyone knows other process to send emails automatically with JS its usefull for me too.
function main(){
location.href = "mailto:"+'someone#something.com'
+'?cc='+" "
+'&subject='+'something'
+'&body='+"Hi, im an automatic mail";
}
To details
Please note, JS is client side and runs inside browser, you do not have access to any application or file system outside browser or to browser itself..
Further,
If you need to send automated emails, you will need server side email engine configured and will need to make ajax / jQuery call to engine with recipient details..
I want to create an add in for Microsoft outlook that will execute its code on every new email that is received. I have followed a few tutorials and all show how to create a button to initiate an action then execute a javascript file. I'm wondering if I can create an add in that will execute on each new email received without needing the user to click a button.
P.S. I have seen you can create add ins using VSTO so is this my only option for running code in the background without user input?
Web add-ins are run in the context of a particular item which should be opened or selected in the explorer window. You can't get them working automatically for every incoming item.
To get that working you need to develop a COM add-in (for example, a VSTO based add-in) where you should handle the NewMailEx event of the Application class. The event fires when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. You can use the Entry ID returned in the EntryIDCollection array to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item. Use this method with caution to minimize the impact on Outlook performance. However, depending on the setup on the client computer, after a new message arrives in the Inbox, processes like spam filtering and client rules that move the new message from the Inbox to another folder can occur asynchronously.
When using JS, you can use webhooks to get an HTTP notification when events like new e-mails occur.

I am developing a browser plugin where I need to send Facebook chat message using JavaScript(the Plugin will deliver the javascript to Facebook page). But unfortunately i could not find any submit button(because Enter key is basically used to send chat messages) or equivalent event for sending chat messages using Plugin Injected javascript even after reviewing good amount of client side source code of facebook.
So kindly help!
Thanks,
Instead of submit buttons, most chat interfaces send whenever the Enter key is pressed. Check this question out,
Send Facebook chat messages via JavaScript , and let me know if that helps :)
I have a scenario if the user clicks submit button mail should be sent automatically through outlook without POP-UP(asking for us to click send button).
How to do this & is der anyway to access outlook api for auto sending a mail.
There is, but not using Javascript. Outlook has a COM interface (and probably .NET as well) which allows sending e-mails, but it will show warnings as well. The only way is to actuall build an Outlook add-in that can send e-mails 'from the inside'.
To help you build this, you can use Outlook Redemption, which provides Outlook-like functions that can be called without the warnings. But as far as I know, there's no way to control Outlook from outside to send mail and especially not from Javascript.
This measure is taken to prevent malicious scripts sending spam using your Outlook.
I have a scenario where I need to send an email using c#, which could be easily done using SMTP, but the challenge is to incorporate web service in the html mail, hence i have used java scripts inside mail body to access the web service when a button click is raised.
As a html(Web Page), it works perfectly good but then when i send a mail and try with the click of a button in my mail, the onclick not raised the jscript and hence no action has happened and it was actually disabled.
I checked with the firebug(in firefox) in the particular html tag, to my surprise the jscript tag was not present there hence the event was not raised. My question is can we access web service in html email? and don't JScripts works on Gmails?
Does the html email do only the redirecting, using href... To my experience i have never got any mail which uses java scripts(like click of a button zooms the image in the same page, which is very much possible in html,asp pages). Thx in advance...
Apart from struggling to understand the question, Javascript won't work in most mail clients. Deliberately disabled.
You can't automatically call a web service from an e-mail letter. You have to create an URL for the recipient to open, and let them access the web service from a web page in the browser.
JavaScript, and any other third party communication method for that matter, is disabled in any reasonable e-mail client by security reasons.
I'm not aware of any email client or web mail service that will execute JavaScript embedded in an HTML email.
Limit HTML use in emails to formatting. If you need an web application, then link to it instead.
