Install Sendasta for yourself

Takes about 3 minutes. No admin access required — works on Outlook web and desktop.

Download sendasta-manifest.xml

Small XML file — your browser will save it to your Downloads folder

01

Download the Sendasta manifest file

Click the download button above to save sendasta-manifest.xml to your computer. You'll need this file in the next step.

02

Open Outlook on the web

Go to outlook.office.com and sign in with your Microsoft 365 account. (Desktop Outlook also works — the steps are the same.)

03

Open the Add-ins manager

Click the Apps icon in the Outlook toolbar, then click "Get add-ins". This opens the "Add-ins for Outlook" window.

04

Upload the manifest file

In the left pane, select "My add-ins". Scroll to the bottom to find "Custom Add-ins". Click "Add a custom add-in" → "Add from file", then select the sendasta-manifest.xml file you downloaded.

05

Confirm the installation

Outlook will show a confirmation prompt — click "Yes" to confirm. Sendasta appears immediately in your compose toolbar. Open a new email to see it.

For my whole team

Deploy to your entire organization

As an IT administrator, you can roll Sendasta out to your whole Microsoft 365 organization in minutes — no end-user action needed.

01

Open the Exchange Admin Center

Navigate to admin.exchange.microsoft.com and sign in with your Microsoft 365 administrator account.

02

Go to Organization > Add-ins

In the left navigation, expand "Organization" and select "Add-ins". This is where you manage all Outlook add-ins across your organization.

03

Add from URL

Click the "+" button to add a new add-in. When prompted, select "Add from URL" rather than the AppSource store.

04

Paste the Sendasta manifest URL

Enter the following URL and click "Install":
https://sendasta.com/sendasta-manifest.xml

05

Assign to user groups

After installation, configure which users or distribution groups have access. You can deploy to your entire organization or a specific pilot group. Set the deployment to "Mandatory" to ensure all users have the add-in.

06

Within 24 hours (often within minutes), Sendasta will appear automatically in Outlook for all assigned users — on web, desktop, and Mac. No end-user action required.
