APP FOR OUTLOOK: Tracking meetings changes text type in Outlook Invite

Posted on by 5

Hey All, 

Our users are experiencing an issue when tracking meetings into CRM using the APP for Outlook.

When a meeting is tracked into CRM for OUTLOOK via APP FOR OUTLOOK, any meeting details like 'Teams/webex details' become like PLAIN TEXT so links are not clickable.

Is this being experienced anywhere else? 

See below examples.

    Microsoft sent us the below steps to follow. Have not tried them as our effected user if out of office for 2 weeks.

    • Press Win + R and type below commands one at a time in the blank box in affected user's machine and hit enter:

    outlook.exe /resetfolders

    outlook.exe /cleanviews

    outlook.exe /resetnavpane

    outlook.exe /resetfoldernames

    • Create a new Outlook Profile from Control Panel for affected user and check the behavior.

    • Move all the OST's to a different Folder from the below location:

    C: Drive> Users> Click on the users Profile> Appdata > Local> Microsoft Outlook.

    • Update Outlook application to latest version and check the behavior.

    • Run the below PowerShell command:

    Revoke-AzureADUserAllRefreshToken -ObjectId "ObjectID of the affected user"

    Reference article: Revoke-AzureADUserAllRefreshToken (AzureAD) | Microsoft Learn

    • Clear credentials from Control Panel> Credentials Manager> Windows Credentials (Remove all Office related credentials).

    • Run a Quick and Online Repair.

    run a quick repair (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Office 365 > Change > Quick Repair

    run a Online repair (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Office 365 > Change > Online Repair

    • Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration.

    Yes, we're experiencing the same thing.  Did you find a resolution?

    Yes, we have a solution given to us by Microsoft:

    To fix this you can disable the feature in admin center:

     

    Path to go to this setting in PPAC:

     

    Environment-> ... next to its name -> settings-> Product -> features

    Toggle off "End users can add and join Teams meetings from appointments in model-drive apps" 

    Now, clear the cache and create new appointment.

    Then once you do this, you should then be able to turn this back on and it should be fixed. Please test the above steps and let me know if this works. If you should see any further issues let me know and we can dig in further as there are a few other areas we can check.

    Hey Naveen,

    Were you able to see my reply on this?

    Is this done on the local level for users or is this a global setting?

    No I havent found any solution yet. The closest I found was this post,

    techcommunity.microsoft.com/.../3271505

    Saying that Its the MS VBA addin needs to be enabled. That's our Global settings default.

    Hello Ahmed,

    You can take a look at orgDBSettings. There are a few configurations available for app for outlook that might be helpful in your case. I doubt if  "StoreOutlookSyncDataInSensitivityProperty" is causing the issue.
