Install Jira Cloud Outlook Add-in Manually?!`

Casey Schneider

Due to our Exchange being hosted outside of O365, we are not allowed to deploy Outlook Add-ins from the Deployment Center within the Admin portal.. Is there a way to download the add-in manually so we can install that way? All other manual add-ins work just fine with this method

Hi Casey,

I understand you are looking to install the Jira Cloud for Outlook add-in without using the deployment center.  From reading through the initial post about this add-in it appears that this is not possible yet. Check out the comment https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Try-Jira-Cloud-for-Outlook-Organize-your-work-without-leaving/bc-p/1165207#M1462

In it you can see one of the developers notes:

Unfortunately we do not support the direct installation of the plugin to Outlook desktop plugin yet. But we've created a public feature request, so you can vote and "watch" it https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/API-154

I would watch/vote for that issue if this is something you want to see.  Perhaps another deployment method can be created if there is interest in this.
