I use the following VBA code in ThisOulookSession to add BCC address when sending emails :
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim objMe As Recipient
Set objMe = Item.Recipients.Add("some#address.dot")
objMe.Type = olBCC
objMe.Resolve
Set objMe = Nothing
End Sub
It works perfectly when sending from Outlook itself. But when I send emails via my CRM program using MAPI, the VBA is not executed. So I think sending emails using MAPI does not take ThisOutlookSession in account.
Is there a way to execute my VBA macro both with Outlook itself and via MAPI ?
Application.ItemSend event does not fire when a message is sent through Simple MAPI or a mailto link. This is by design.

This is my first thread on the forum so I hope i do everything as is needed.
Since a few years we use a vba outlook macro at our firm to send our sent mails to a folder. The folder is specified when pressing the SEND button. When we created the macro, we used to save the file directly after pressing send, but then only a draft file was saved to the specified folder. Herefore we initiated a handler to check when the mail is added to the Sent Mail folder so we could save this mail to the specified folder. Since yesterday, only some of my colleagues started getting a Type mismatch error while running this macro. Today another couple of colleagues is having this issue as well. Most of us can still use the macro without having any errors.
I narrowed the problem down to the initialize_handler itself by creating a much easier macro. So now when sending any email, I initialize a handler for the items in my Sent Mails folder. When an item is added to the Sent Mails folder, a messagebox should appear telling me an item is added.
The type mismatch error is created on "Set myOlItems = ...."
Public WithEvents myOlItems As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Call Initialize_handler
End Sub
Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlItems = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderSentMail).Items
End Sub
Private Sub myOlItems_ItemAdd(ByVal ObjectSent As Object)
MsgBox "Item is added to Sent Mails"
End Sub
I hope someone has a solution to this. I wasn't able to find out what could trigger the error?
Thanks!
I'd recommend starting from breaking the chain of property and methods calls by declaring each property or method call on a separate line of code. So, we will be able to find out which property or method calls fails.
I would like to create an archive of OUTGOING attachments in a folder (a Windows folder, outside Outlook). I have used scripts to save attachments from INCOMING messages by using some of the solutions provided on this site, but I don't see a way to set this up for outgoing mail. I also tried to set up a rule to apply a script to all outgoing messages, but I don't see an option to "run a script" on messages I send (like I can for incoming messages).
I can probably use a script that parses an outlook folder, but it would be much more effective to have it run in real-time as messages are sent.
Process the Application.ItemSend event - the item will be passed as a parameter to your event handler. You can then process the message attachment the same way your process the incoming messages.
If you really want to use the Outbox instead of the ItemSend event (which is probably a better solution), try this (found here and modified to use Outbox)
Public WithEvents myOlItems As Outlook.Items
Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlItems = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderOutbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub myOlItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
'your code to save attachments here
End Sub
I'm looking for VBA code for Outlook 2013 that will automatically save a draft either when opening the composition window, when replying or forwarding an email (it's OK if it fires on newly-composed messages also) or just before sending it when hitting the Send button.
Essentially emulating hitting the "Save" icon or Ctrl-S either before composing or before the message gets sent.
Outlook generates a "Could not complete the operation because the mail provider does not support it" error when replying to or forwarding a non-Google Apps account email when Google Apps accounts are combined with other email accounts in Outlook.
I discovered that a work-around is to manually save the email before sending it. I can do that manually but often forget. Can't do it after the error message appears. Trying to save after the "could not complete" error is thrown results in another error.
BTW, I already have a routine running off the Application_ItemSend event; will adding another conflict?
Update: Here is a version of what I tried:
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
' Runs when the item is being sent.
Call AutoSaveDraft(item)
Call CheckSubject(item)
End Sub
(CheckSubject fires)
Private Sub AutoSaveDraft(item As Object)
item.Save
SendKeys "+{F12}" ' Save the message. ##
SendKeys "^S"
Sleep 1000 ' Pause execution 1 second. The Windows sleep function is called in the beginning ##
End Sub
(Yes, I have all three potential save methods. Have also tried them individually.
You are free to call the Save method in the ItemSend event handler if it helps to avoid issues.
You may find the Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 article helpful.
Since the original poster doesn't make it clear, this is what actually works to prevent the errors related to non-Google Apps accounts when simply hitting Send:
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Item.Save
End Sub
I have a third party piece of software that sends email through Outlook. It allows us to specify a "reply to" email address, but not a "from" email address. I'm trying to write something in VBA that notices when a message comes from that third party software and uses the "reply to" address as the "from" address before it sends the email. I'm having trouble getting any events to trigger when I send email with the third party software.
If I use
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
MsgBox "Test"
End Sub
it triggers the message box when I send an email through Outlook, but not when the third party software does. Is there another event I should be looking at instead? I'm looking at Application events or MailItem events (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn320237(v=office.15).aspx) and nothing but the Send events seem at all appropriate. I tried the sample code for the item Send event
Public WithEvents myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Sub SendMyMail()
Set myItem = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
myItem.To = "Dan Wilson"
myItem.Subject = "Data files information"
myItem.Send
End Sub
Private Sub myItem_Send(Cancel As Boolean)
myItem.ExpiryTime = #2/2/2003 4:00:00 PM#
End Sub
but it doesn't trigger even when I send an email through Outlook. I did try restarting Outlook before testing that out.
This question looks promising: How do I trigger a macro to run after a new mail is received in Outlook?
but it involves setting an event listener to the Inbox. I've heard that there's a way to change settings somehow in a way that prevents the third party messages from being automatically sent, and when that happens they get stuck in Outlook's Drafts folder. How would I go about putting an event listener on the Drafts folder instead of the Inbox?
Application.ItemSend event is only fired if a message is sent through the Outlook Object Model. If the other app uses Extended MAPI, no event fires.
I am trying to create an Outlook add-in using VB.NET
When a user clicks on the send button in a meeting invite, I want to handle the send event, to read fields and do application specific persisting.
I am able to capture a mail send event, but the code is not fired when I modify it for a meeting send event.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 and Outlook 2010.
Simple add this function in class "ThisAddIn" and before the message send, this function will execute.
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles Application.ItemSend
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Hello from ThisAddIn!")
End Sub
