Possible to automatically open an outlook app?

I've built an Outlook app (for Office 2013) that displays information about the person I'm writing an email to. However, it seems that every time I compose a new message, I have to click on apps and then click on my app to actually enable the functionality. Is there a way to force Outlook to automatically trigger my app as soon as I start composing a message? Or do I have to write a more traditional addin (instead of this new javascript plugin style) to get that to work?

You will need to write an Outlook addin. It will be loaded every time Outlook runs. You will then be able to listen to various Outlook events and/or provide your custom ribbon UI.
