Installing the Neos Outlook Add-In
The Neos Add-in for Outlook allows you to file emails into a Case from Outlook Web, desktop, or mobile. You can also use the add-in to view Party and Provider contact information.
Neos Recommends: Firm Administrators that have a Microsoft 365 Global Admin account deploy and manage the Outlook add-in for all users. Refer to Deploy add-ins in the admin center for the full process from Microsoft. The Neos Outlook Add-in XML file (from step 2 ­ Outlook Web section) must be uploaded to the admin center. Once the add-in is deployed, it will be available for all users in Outlook Online and Desktop, however, you may need to relaunch Microsoft 365 to view the add-in icon in the ribbon. NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours for the Neos Outlook Add-in to appear in Outlook.
If your firm’s Global Admin does not deploy the add-in, these installation instructions must be performed by each individual Neos user.
Once installed for each user, the add-in will be updated automatically. After a release, users may be automatically directed to the login screen where they should enter their Neos credentials to continue using the Outlook Add-in. In addition, each user must have their Office 365 email connected in their Neos Staff Profile to tag emails, attachments, and appointments.
NOTE: The Neos Outlook Add-in is supported and installed on individual Microsoft 365 accounts. For users that have multiple Microsoft mailboxes, the add-in must be installed for each additional account in Outlook Desktop.
Outlook Web will only show one mailbox account in a browser session. To use the addin for another Microsoft 365 email account, open an incognito browser session and log in using the second email. Install the Neos Outlook Add-in for that second account, then switch between browser sessions to tag emails from the different mailboxes.
Refer to Microsoft’s guide on Using add-ins in Outlook on the web for add-in requirements with your platform (in the Frequently asked questions section) for more details.
NOTE: All staff should remove the previous version before installing the latest Outlook Add-in using the new URL (refer to step 6).
