Please note In order to install the Outlook Add-in in this case, is served directly from Confluence via a custom XML file. It can be deployed entirely behind the Firewall. Some users get confused and try to install the Cloud version from the AppSource store. But for Data Center and Exchange, users need to ask their admins to install the Add-in for them. Or provide them with the custom XML so they can install the Add-in from their Outlook Web Access (OWA). Reach out to us for consulting offers. Usually, a 500-user DC needs 1-3 days of consulting to get started. Additionally, Solution partners listed on our website are recommended to help roll out and improve the adoption for this productivity App.for Data Center users, follow these steps.

3. Installing the Confluence Outlook Add-in for Data Center / Exchange users

Please note the Outlook Add-in you find in the official Microsoft Appsource store, is only for Confluence Cloud and not compatible with Data Center.

To install the Outlook Add-in for Data Center users, you need to use the XML file which is generated for you in the Meetical Configuration (Go to Confluence Settings and find the option in the left menu).

Navigate to the Admin Section of Meetical in your DC instance. Choose “Microsoft Exchange” as the provider. Follow the Setup, by creating and defining a Service Account with access to the calendars of those users you want to make the Outlook-Add-in available for. Then get the XML file (meetical-outlook-add-in.xml) and install the add-in via OWA, Exchange Admin Center, or Power Shell.

Note that for testing and demo purposes you can also use Outlook Web Access to install the Add-in only for your own personal user.
