Examples

Initiating activity in Microsoft Teams

The following example Pipeline demonstrates how you can use the Create Team Snap and some other Snaps in the Teams Snap Pack to begin team's activity within your Microsoft Teams instance. This example assumes that you have:

Set up your application in Azure Portal with necessary permissions.
Configured the required Snap account with necessary scopes.
Created a public or private channel using the Create Channel Snap.

This Pipeline uses the OAuth2 user account (authorization code grant type) to create a team on behalf of a signed-in user and to allow begin their collaboration efforts. It demonstrates the following activities:

Creating a team
Adding members to the new team
Creating a public channel within the team
Collaboration through the channel

Creating a team

Use the Create Team Snap from the Teams Snap Pack to create the new team, as needed. In this Pipeline, the inputs for creating a team are passed using a Mapper Snap, for demonstration purposes.

Mapper Snap

Output

The values for Team and Team_Desc are passed to the Create Team Snap. The Snap creates a new team in your Teams instance and returns the team's id and a confirmation message about the operation.

Adding members to a team

To add members to the team, connect a Team Operations Snap. Select Add Members as the Operation and provide the user IDs of the members and owners for the team, as needed.

Creating a channel in the team

Now, let us create a channel within this new team (using Create Channel Snap) and add members to this channel, as necessary.

Create Channel Snap	Output

This Snap creates a new channel under the team and returns the channel details in its output.

Sending a message to a channel

Let us use these details to send our first message in the channel. To do so, we must connect a Send Channel Message Snap and pass the Team ID and Channel ID from the above output as inputs. The Send Channel Message Snap allows you to draft messages to the channel members using HTML markup. See the input for the Message field in the Snap.

Output

Replying to a specific message

Similarly, you can use the Send Channel Message Snap to reply to a specific message in the channel (conversation) using its message ID. For demo purposes, the Snap below uses the id of the message sent above to reply to it.
