I was wondering, is it possible to create an add-in for outlook that uploads attachments from a selected email to entries table using the API?



If so, could you direct me in the right direction on how this would be done. I have everything ready so all I would have to do is call the right method(s) from the API to upload my document.



Thanks.

The biggest challenge is that you need some http context to do this properly. Currently, the only way you can use the API is by some code that is running in DNN as well. That could be another module, or some provider, etc. But accessing it from outside the web application is not (yet) possible.

What you'd really need is a service. Unfortunately DNN muddled things up a little, by first implementing MVC services in DNN 6.2 and then removing these in favor of WebAPI in DNN 7. Realistically I should not use the services layer of DNN 6.2 but should go straight for DNN 7. But moving the dependency up to DNN 7 will leave a lot of customers out in the cold currently. I expect to do that later this year or even the beginning of next year to stay with the current customer base.
