I am looking for a solution on how to publish data in Outlook to a web
server. A custom web app will be written to access the data published
to its server and and display it in some special way. I will either
need to write custom VBA for Outlook that transmits the data to the
web server or use some third-party tool that integrates into Outlook
that will transmit the data for me. The data is sent in only one
direction - from client to server. The data on the server is read-
only. Whenever the user changes data in Outlook, either it gets sent
to the server automatically (the preferred way) or they would be
required to press some button within Outlook on the toolbar to
initiate sending changes.
What possible solutions do I have available? If I have to write custom
VBA, I was thinking of transmitting the data in JSON format to a web
service. Any libraries that you know of that handle this? Or does
Microsoft have tools that can publish the data to the server? Keep in
mind that all I am interested in on the server is just the data and
not the in displaying the data. My web app is responsible for
displaying the data. If I have to store the data in my own database, I
have no problem with that. If some third party tool can transmit the
data, it would have to be possible to access the data from whatever
data store it uses.
