Templafy web add-ins (For MS Office on-prem, Online & Mac)

About this article

This article will explain what the Templafy Web add-ins are and which minimum Office and OS versions are required, as well as which browser is supported.

What are Templafy web add-ins?

Templafy Web add-ins are add-ins for Office 365. This means, that the add-ins can be installed on:

Office Online
Office for Mac
Office for Windows*

We highly recommend using Templafy Desktop and VSTO add-ins rather than web add-ins on PC as the end-user experience is better with VSTO add-ins.
Webview2 needs to be installed with elevated/administrator rights for Web Add-ins to function

* (✅ -> ❌) - end of support officially announced

(1) - Support for running Microsoft 365 Apps (Web Add-ins) on Desktop. Not having the support makes the Email Signature Web Add-in completely not working
(2) - Support for Task Pane interaction - when opening the "Email Signatures" task pane and manually inserting the signature. We refer to this as authenticated flow in Web add-in, as the user has to authenticate/be authenticated.
(3) - Support for Event-based actions. These include all the actions that are performed by us as a result of user actions in Outlook, without interacting with the Task Pane. We refer to this as an unauthenticated flow, as this works for 30 days after logging in in the task pane. As of now (Oct. 2022) there are 2 triggers: on a message being composed and on recipients being changed. The first one handles the automatic signature insertion, while the second one performs updating the signature for internal/external. Not having support for this makes our Web Add-in only work in authenticated flow
