Invoke macro in Outlook

Help

Hi

Is it possible to invoke a macro in Outlook through an activity in UIpath?. Similar to the way “invoke VBA” activity works for Excel.

Does anyone know of any custom libraries/packages that can do this?

Thanks In Advance

We have activities available to do all the tasks in outlook @daltaq, Is there any specific reason to use Macro?

Hello,
I am trying to do the same thing.
The available activities clearly are not able do all the tasks.
Running a VBA code in Outlook is not possible without using the app interface.
Emptying the Deleted Folder is not possible without using the app interface.
And the list goes on.

Unfortunately, you could run a macro only by using the Outlook interface.

  • Try using hotkey ALT+F8 to open Macros window and double click with a dynamic selector (with macro name as string variable in the element name).

  • To make sure your macro finished the execution you could add a message box inside the VBA code of the macro.

  • The robot would check if the message box exists and click ok or whatever button you configure.

Hope this helps.
