Business Central Outlook Add-in Issue

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Stefanie Ng 53

Hi everyone,

Has anyone encountered this issue with the Business Central Outlook Add-in for Sandbox environment?

I can view the Customer and Vendor Contact Insights without any problems, but when I try to create a new document (such as a Sales Quote or Sales Order), it fails and the option is unavailable.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi Stefanie,
    this rings a bell, usually it's the sandbox missing HttpClient permission. Contact Insights works because it's mostly read-only, but creating a document (New, Sales Quote) needs the Outlook REST API extension to reach out, and in sandbox that extension needs Allow HttpClient Requests turned on explicitly, not on by default like production. Go to Extension Management, find Outlook REST API extension (or Current User Connector, depends what you use), open Configure and check that setting.

    I'd also check email is actually set up in that sandbox, without a working account the document flow can fail with the same message. Not 100% sure this is your exact case but matches close. Which connector you on, M365 or current user?
     
    Glad to help - follow up if anything is unclear.
