What benefits does the suggestion solve?

Currently the user has to open the AppointmentOrganizerCommandSurface, i.e. the "appointment creation" view in order to see the add-in.

Feature suggestion description

We suggest that the add-in is made available earlier in the process of creating a meeting. In this case it could be in the calendar or inbox view. This would entail the following changes:

• Change the add-in's ExtensionPoint
• Open the AppointmentOrganizerCommandSurface when the add-in is clicked
• Paste the link automatically when the previous window is opened

This has been marked as wontfix until it has been fully implemented in the Office.js api

Wouldn't this be possible if we built a c# wrapper for adding a button in the ribbon? This could also include a meeting settings tab to store local meeting settings for the app to utilize. I can test it out if it's interesting

@Philldomd I don't think I fully understand how such a wrapper would work. Do you have any more details?
