User Story

As a WIRE and Outlook user 
i want to add a WIRE conference call easily / automated to my Outlook calendar event invitations
so that i don`t need to manually open WireApp to set up a conferencing call and copy the link manually to the calendar event

Rationale

  1. Most big organizations are practically using the whole MS ecosystem.
  2. Alternative ecosystems (Office / Mail / teams) are young or still in building phase.
  3. Even if those alternatives would be available now, the rollout of such alternative solution as a replacement for the MS ecosystem will take multiple years for big companies.
  4. Therefore i suggest to quickly deploy a WIRE outlook add-in as a first step (low hanging fruit)

    That could be attractive for customers (like critical infrastructure) who need to react fast. They could move the meetings / conferences immediately to WIRE without a need to change the rest of the processes / ecosystem.

Additional information
- Outlook calendar event invitations are capable of automatically creating MS teams conference rooms (if Teams licenses are available).
- The Microsoft Marketplace already has an Add-in for Zoom. That is a PoC that automation with third party conferencing tools for call creation generally is feasible for MS Outlook. 

Please provide a corresponding WIRE Add-in for MS Outlook.

Thank you.
