In Riva, the Insight panel and Track in CRM support two types of add-ins for Outlook:
- Outlook Web add-in.
- Windows add-in.
Due to Microsoft moving away from Windows (COM based) Add-ins, the Outlook Web Add-in should be used for all environments using Microsoft 365/Exchange Online as the mail server.
