Capture event "Save work item" in TFS - Visual Studio 2015

Good morning everyone. Is that okay?

I use Visual Studio 2015 to access TFS Work Items and I'm looking for a tool that stores some activity-specific information in an Excel spreadsheet, and when I finish a Work Item, send an email with specific formatting to some recipients.

I've searched and seen that the TFS settings support sending email, this just needs to be configured ... But I did not find anything that answered the question of the spreadsheet, so I thought about developing an add- in that you do both! Would anyone know to point me to any tool that has these features or what I could research to start developing my own?

Thank you in advance.

Instead of storing activity-specific information in an Excel worksheet, why not store it in the Work Items themselves?

You can customize them to add fields and even change the workflow. So just trigger sending an email based on the information. You can use the web hooks and integrations, as you are in an old version, I recommend to update for 2018 Update 2 and to use several new features.
