Install and Configure the Newforma Konekt Outlook Add-in
The Newforma Konekt Outlook Add-in allows you to file emails to Newforma Konekt directly from Microsoft Outlook.
Permissions and Prerequisites
Before installing the add-in, confirm the following:
- A Newforma Konekt account and a Microsoft 365 account
- At least an Editor project role (see Project Roles)
- Access to the Emails activity center (see Edit Project Email Settings)
Step 1: Install the Newforma Konekt add-in in Outlook
You install the add-in by loading a manifest file into Outlook. The manifest file is available at the following URL:
For instructions on loading a custom add-in from a file, see Using add-ins in Outlook. Steps vary depending on your platform and Outlook version.
Note: You can pin the Newforma Konekt add-in to the Outlook toolbar so it is always visible when opening and composing emails. Refer to your Outlook settings under Mail > Customize actions to enable the add-in in the message surface.
Step 2: Sign In to the Add-in
Once the add-in is installed:
- Open an email in Outlook.
- Click the Newforma Konekt icon to launch the add-in.
- Click Sign in with Microsoft.
- Select your company-issued account.
When signing in for the first time, you are prompted to grant permissions required by the add-in. If your organization restricts individual users from granting consent to applications, a Microsoft 365 administrator must grant consent on your behalf.
Step 3: Configure Add-in Settings
The add-in settings control how emails are filed in Newforma Konekt. After signing in the add-in:
- Click Menu.
- Click Settings.
From the settings, you can:
- Configure auto-filing folders.
- Move emails to deleted items after filing.
- File all past emails in a conversation.
You’re now ready to file emails to Newforma Konekt.
Optional: Centralized Deployment via Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Administrators can deploy the add-in to users through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center instead of requiring individual installation.

- Select Settings > Integrated apps.
- Click Upload custom apps.
- From the App type dropdown, select Office Add-in.
- Select the option to provide a link to a manifest file and enter the following URL:

- Click Next to process the manifest file.
- Specify who has access:
- Everyone
- Specific Users/Groups
- Just Me
- Click Next, then Finish Deployment.
- Click Next, then Close to complete the deployment.
Note: Admin Center UI and navigation may vary depending on your Microsoft 365 version.
