# Microsoft Teams integration

## Microsoft Teams for app distribution

With just a few steps you can integrate Microsoft Teams into your app distribution process with Updraft and be informed about the latest app versions at any time and install them directly.

{% hint style="info" %}
Starting August 2024, Microsoft is retiring the Office 365 connectors feature from Microsoft Teams. If you have a Microsoft Teams integration configured for your project, you will have to update the *Webhook URL* to the new Workflow URL or create a new integration on Updraft. This Documentation is updated for Workflows
{% endhint %}

#### Prerequisites: 

To integrate Updraft with Microsoft Teams,  you need at least one channel in Teams and need to be able to create a Workflow for this Channel. 

Furthermore, your Updraft Account needs to be a Project-Admin. 

### 1. Create a Workflow for your Channel 

1. Press the three dots on the left Sidebar of Teams. 
2. If you do not see the App *Workflows*, search it.

3. Then you can press on *New flow* and ether use the *Post to a channel when a webhook request is recieved* or create a flow from blank.&#x20;
4. Lets say you decide to use the template from Microsoft

5. Give this flow a name and if you are connected to teams, press on next.&#x20;
6. Select your Teams Team and Teams Channel in which you want to post a message. Press on *Create a flow.*&#x20;
7. Great! Now copy the URL of the Workflow and switch to Updraft.&#x20;

3. Add a name and the URL from the Teams Workflow.&#x20;
4. If you want to configure the Workflow only for a specific App, select it.&#x20;
5. Press on *Save* and navigate to the *Builds* of your Project.&#x20;

### 3. Test the Integration of the Workflow.&#x20;

1. On the *Builds* page, upload a new Build.&#x20;
2. After a new build was uploaded, switch to Teams again and check your configured Channel.&#x20;

Great, now you will get a message via Workflows every time you upload a build from Updraft.

If you do not want to have the little message that this Workflow uses a template, you will have to create a flow from blank in step 1.4.&#x20;
