To extend this menu you must create a file called "_custom.json" and add in data like the screen shot below:

Sample text with one option:

 "getscreensetup": {

"options": [{ "name": "mailto", "caption": "mail to", "color": "red", "icon": "mdi-calendar", "enabledContext": "explorer", "enabled": true, "action": "mailto:#emailaddress#?subject=Mail from Our Site #entitytag#&body=#entityName#_#entityName2#_#entityName3#" }

  }

Only these hash# values are supported and merged:

Log into AC again or restart outlook to see the changes
