Remarks

Important:

• In Outlook on Windows, the any type is supported starting in Version 2402 (Build 17308.20000). In earlier versions of Outlook on Windows, only the string type is supported.

• To retrieve the JSON data, call Office.context.mailboxitem.getInitializationContextAsync. If you create a JSON string using JSON.stringify() and assign it to the contextData property, you must parse the string using JSON.parse() once you retrieve it.

• To prevent the task pane of a notification message from relaunching if it's already open, implement a handler for the Office.EventType.InitializationContextChanged event. You can then pass the event arguments to the contextData property.
