Purpose

CustomMeetingRequest is an add-in for classic Outlook desktop (Windows) that allows you to use a customized default meeting request template.

When a user creates a new meeting request, the template will appear.
CustomMeetingRequest: New meeting request populated with the custom template

Current version: 1.0.1

The application is a COM add-in compatible only with classic desktop Outlook for Windows. It does not support the new Outlook for Windows. Comparison of classic Outlook (with add-in support) and new Outlook for Windows
