Outlook Web Add In Production and Deployment

Question

Hi, I am currently in the process of creating an outlook add in that warns the users when they send emails if the emails are being sent to any external recipients. I am finishing up with my code and I am encountering a bug whereby it cannot run on Outlook Classic however I have already put up an issue on github for that. I wanted to ask the community how do they actually push their code to production and deploy it. This is my first time I am coding anything for deployment and I'm not too familiar with web servers although I have been following along to tutorials. I can sideload the add in and it works but how should I push it for deployment, especially the web server aspect. The steps to deploy the add in across the organisation is online but I cannot find anything about the setup of a web server for an outlook add in deployment. Please advise and thank you!

Welcome to our forum!

Looks like your issue is more related to Outlook development, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client.

Based on my search, to deploy and install add-ins, you can refer to this article:
