Add rules to Microsft Outlook contextual Add-In

I want to make a dicitionary-like contextual Outlook add-in. For example, somebody gets an email with an acronym (our company uses a lot of them) like "GIS" it turns to "Geographical Information System".

I know how to add this rule in the manifest.xml, but i would like to add the rules without reinstalling the add-in, because the list is constantly growing.

Is it possible somehow to add them from a JSON in the app.js or reach this goal without modifying the manifest itself?

  • No, that is not possible currently.
