Invite your Coach with one click in Outlook.

Add it to your own Outlook (five minutes)

1. Copy this address: https://storycltd.co.uk/coach/outlook/manifest.xml
2. New Outlook and Outlook on the web: open any email or meeting, click the Apps icon (four squares) in the toolbar, then Get add-ins. Classic Outlook for Windows: Home tab, Get Add-ins. Outlook for Mac: Tools, Get Add-ins.
3. In the window that opens, click My add-ins on the left.
4. Scroll to Custom Addins, click Add a custom add-in, then Add from URL.
5. Paste the address from step 1 and click OK, then Install.
6. Open any meeting in your calendar. You will see a Meeting Coach group with an Invite my Coach button. Click it, then Open in my Coach.

If your organisation's IT has switched off custom add-ins, send them the section below. Nothing else is needed; the Coach itself works without the button.

For IT: deploy it to the whole team

1. Microsoft 365 admin center, Settings, Integrated apps, Upload custom apps.
2. Choose Office Add-in, Provide link to manifest file, and paste https://storycltd.co.uk/coach/outlook/manifest.xml.
3. Assign it to the users or group who hold the team licence. It appears in their Outlook within a few hours.

What it does: reads the open appointment with Office.js permission ReadItem, builds a short text (title, time, attendees, agenda) and opens storycltd.co.uk/coach/ in the browser with that text in the address. The Coach page runs in the browser and stores everything on the device. Domains used: storycltd.co.uk and appsforoffice.microsoft.com (Microsoft's own Office.js library). No cookies, no tracking, no data to StoryC.

Other calendars

Google Calendar: open the event, click the three dots, Download .ics, and open the file with the Coach (or use Upload the invite). On a computer where the Coach is installed as an app, double-clicking an .ics file opens it in the Coach. A Google Calendar button is on the roadmap.
