Shared Mailboxes with the Outlook add-in

Our users love the new Outlook add-in. We use Shared Mailboxes heavily and users want the same ability to interact with those as they do with their personal inbox. 

 

It would be great if the add-in can handle a connection to a separate account to allow this to work.

Hi Tim. Great question! Sorry for the delay, we were looking into this for you.
 
Currently, this is not yet possible for shared mailboxes to use add-ins. This is a limitation on Outlook's side and we can see that a request to change this has been suggested on their forum.
 
Any other questions, let me know. Thanks for posting 🙂

@Stephen, I just came across this issue as well. Do you know if there has been a resolution? Loving Shared mailboxes, not loving that Wrike won't work in them. 

 

I use Outlook PC desktop. Logged into my account at OWA and the Wrike add-in is working there.

Is there an update on this request?  The lack of support for a shared mailbox is making it difficult to implement a re-engineering of an intake process.

As per Outlook's add-in API requirement set 1.8 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/reference/objectmodel/requirement-set-1.8/outlook-requirement-set-1.8) it is possible for the add-in creator (wrike) to activate their add-ins in the shared mailbox.

Please get your developers to activate the wrike add-in to also work within the outlook shared mailbox environment. This would be a huge benefit to many organisations including ours.

Wrike Devs: This is a must do! With so many shared mailboxes, having the Wrike add on work with them would be a huge game changer.

A much needed feature to connect to shared mailboxes, as our team utilizes at least 6 shared mailboxes. Disappointing, as this integration is what first attracted me to Wrike.

Having a client that uses Wrike and loves it, but it's unfortunate the plugin won't help them in a shared mailbox setup still (2022!) Hoping I can maybe set them up to have a login to a the account/user that is the shared mailbox and see if that could work.

The absence of this feature is really a pity! community team thanks not to answer this unless to tell the community the feature is in development. @community do not forget to upvote the original post... with the current count of 9 this development is going nowhere... Cheers all!

Hello Fay Zachariash, welcome to the Community. I understand it can be frustrating not to see this feature implemented during this time, I'm afraid that at the moment this idea is on the lower side of votes (you can check how we process feedback in this article). Please rest assured that your feedback has been noted and we will keep you updated if any changes are implemented.

Also, I'd like to mention that you can check our New to Community forum to discover all the resources you can find in our Community 🙂

Please, let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.
