Outlook Add-in

The superglue Outlook add-in opens the superglue agent as a side panel next to your email. The agent reads the email that is open, uses your superglue systems and tools, and writes reply drafts for you to review. The add-in works in Outlook on the web, new Outlook, classic Outlook for Windows, and Outlook for Mac.

  • Reads the open email. The add-in asks only for the Read item permission. The panel follows the email you select.
  • Drafts, never sends. superglue writes drafts in your Drafts folder or in the email thread. You review them and send them from Outlook.
  • Runs as you. You sign in with your superglue account. The agent can only use the systems, tools, and credentials that your account can access.

Download the manifest from app.superglue.cloud/outlook/manifest.xml and save it as manifest.xml. Your superglue contact can also send you the file.

The file contains only links to superglue. It contains no keys or secrets, and it is the same for every organization.
