Apply Conditions on incoming emails in microsoft addin development

Question

I have a query related to Microsoft Outlook add-in development:

• I am working on Microsoft outlook add-in development in Javascript and I want to perform some conditions and actions on incoming emails for example: whenever an email is received in my inbox I want to check if the email's "to" contains "test" then mark this email "as Read" and many other actions and conditions like this. I have researched a lot but couldn't find any solution
• Can someone help me out how I can achieve this ?

Thanks for your question. You can implement event-based activation in your Outlook add-in to have it respond to certain events (to learn more, see Configure your Outlook add-in for event-based activation). However, it currently doesn't have support for the receiving email event. If you'd like to see this implemented in the product, please create a feature request for it on the Microsoft 365 Developer Platform Ideas Forum.
