Prerequisites

Condeco can integrate with Outlook using an Outlook plug-in that does not require any integration with Microsoft Exchange and connects to Condeco via HTTPS. The Condeco Outlook Com+ plug-in is based on the add-in Express technology.

Desktop requirements

  • Microsoft Outlook for Windows 2016 and above (excludes the new Outlook for Windows*).
  • .NET Framework v2.0 for the installation package
  • .NET Framework v4.0 for the add-in
  • Latest version of MSXML
  • Access to Condeco via port 443

The Condeco Outlook Com+ plug-in only works with Microsoft Outlook for Windows.

*New Outlook for Windows: The Condeco Outlook Com+ plug-in is not supported by Microsoft's new Outlook for Windows which does not provide support for Com+ add-ins. Read more: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...b-ba7822bc7627 

Install the Condeco Outlook Com+ plug-in

The Condeco Outlook Com+ plug-in is installed by an administrator through Group Policy, or manually using an MSI package.

You can see if it is installed by opening Outlook and creating a new Appointment. If installed, you will see a Room Booking section on the Appointment ribbon with three buttons, Room Booking, Room Grid, and Cancel Booking.

If these buttons are not visible, contact your Condeco or IT administrator.

Configure and sign-in
