Getting started

Installation

Installation of our Outlook add-in should be performed by an Office 365 admin through the Admin Add-ins portal https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home#/Settings/AddIns by searching for "nps.today". Follow the instructions given by Microsoft to deploy it to your desired users.

Assign users

Each user has to be granted access to use the integration individually. Please make sure users are invited with their work emails as we use Microsoft SSO capabilities to automatically log users in once they are inside outlook with the same account.

Users can currently be added through our interface here: https://pages.nps.today/OutlookInvite.html

Using the add-in

Currently the nps.today Outlook add-in can be opened in two ways. Either in the "Read email" view, or by opening a meeting that you are the organizer of.

Opening it from the "read view" allows you to see NPS ratings from the sender of the mail you have currently open, or see your own performance for any NPS ratings that are related to you.

Opening it from the "Appointment Organizer view" (calendar) allows you to choose a NPS campaign, and choose which meeting participants to send a survey to. You can optionally give your own rating of the meeting to compare your own performance to the participants perception.

FAQ & Known issues

Bug

Using windows (10 & 11) built in features to resize the outlook window while having the nps.today add-in open will cause the gauge needle to appear as 0 even though the average rating presented is higher. Resizing includes changing screen, using the WIN + UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT keys or dragging the outlook window to the resize snap areas at the edge of the screen Solution: open another email or close the add-in and reopen it.

Warning

The outlook integration does NOT work in shared inboxes. This limitation is unfortunately set by Microsoft which prevent us from developing a solution.
