I am working on a so-called Outlook Mail Add-In (not COM, but a Mail App/web-based). To activate it in the Compose Mode in Outlook Desktop Client, I currently need to click on Apps for Office in the Ribbon, then select the corresponding Mail Add-In and then click on Start so that it finally shows in the right pane of the Compose Form.

That is not very efficient from a users point of view, if this is done several times a day.

Is there a way to start/activate such a Outlook Mail Add-In via a command, for example having a COM-based / VSTO add-in that can do the steps in one go, as described above?

Many thanks for any hints!

Outlook (nor VSTO) doesn't provide anything for that.

You need to install Office Apps manually. There is no API for that.
