Subscribe to Outlook notifications from a web add-In (Office js)

I am developing a web add-in for Outlook as an extension to our meetings management web-app. The problem is that we need to know when the user changes the date of a meeting in Outlook (without opening our add-in), so that we can take the necessary actions within our system.

I have looked into subscriptions and Microsoft Graph, but just can't seem to find anywhere an explanation or tutorial on how to implement it using JavaScript and Office js.

It would be of great help if someone could guide me through the basic steps, or link to an external resource/tutorial that explains the process.

Sorry, but web add-ins do not currently support this capability. It is not possible to listen to changes in meeting start and end dates without explicitly running the add-in.

If the add-in is already opened, you can use the AppointmentTimeChanged event to listen to changes in the appointment time when it is being created / edited, but this will only be triggered as long as the add-in is running.

We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page. Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered when we go through our planning process.
