Auto BCC Microsoft Outlook 2011 using Applescript

Question

I have been searching the past few days and with no luck trying to find a solution.

My company is trying to us a CRM system which tracks e-mails. I want to automatically BCC e-mails to contacts in certain categories.

Since it is impossible for rules to do this, I was trying to find an applescript that could accomplish this.

I am not familiar with applescript and quite frankly dissapointed with how dumb down Microsoft Outlook is for Macs.

Could anyone provide me with a script to help me accomplish automatically BCC when "Replying" or creating a "New-Email" of people in specific categories? Is this even possible?

Answer 1

I was looking for a solution and I made an AppleScript to do this:

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"

set newMessage to make new outgoing message
make new bcc recipient at newMessage with properties {email address:{name:"Name", address:"[email protected]"}}

open newMessage

end tell

Give It a whirl.just remember to replace Name and [email protected] with the correct ones. Also Make sure to create a Contact with the bcc email to match the name and address.
