Microsoft Teams

The Microsoft Teams package provides comprehensive automation capabilities for Microsoft Teams, enabling you to create teams, manage channels, send messages, and interact with chats programmatically.

Overview​

The Microsoft Teams package allows you to:

  • Connect to Microsoft Teams using OAuth2 authentication
  • Create and manage teams and channels
  • Send messages to channels and chats
  • Retrieve messages and chat information
  • List teams, channels, and chats
  • Manage chat members

Authentication​

The package supports two authentication methods:

  1. Connect Node - Use the Connect node to establish a session that can be reused across multiple nodes
  2. Direct Credentials - Pass OAuth2 credentials directly to individual nodes without using Connect

OAuth2 Credentials Format​

To use Microsoft Teams automation, you need to create OAuth2 credentials in your vault with the following structure:

{
  "client_id": "your_client_id",
  "client_secret": "your_client_secret",
  "tenant_id": "common"
}

The package automatically handles:

  • OAuth2 authorization flow
  • Token refresh when expired
  • Token storage in vault
