Configuring the Microsoft Teams connector

Add the connector in DaVinci as shown in Adding a connector, then configure it as follows.

Connector configuration

DaVinci Redirect URL
Your DaVinci redirect URL. This allows Microsoft to redirect the browser back to DaVinci. after the user authenticates with the Sign on with Microsoft capability. Use this in Setting up Microsoft Teams.
Application Redirect URL
Your application's redirect URL, such as https://app.yourorganization.com. Enter this URL if you embed the DaVinci widget in your application. This allows DaVinci to redirect the browser back to your application.
Client ID
The Application (client) ID that you noted in Setting up Microsoft Teams.
Client Secret
The client secret Value that you noted in Setting up Microsoft Teams.
Tenant ID
The Directory (tenant) ID that you noted in Setting up Microsoft Teams.

Using the connector in a flow

Managing team and channel memberships

The connector has several capabilities that allow you to manage the users that belong to each team or channel in Microsoft Teams:

  • Teams:
    • Add a Member to a Team
    • Remove a Member from a Team
    • List Team Members
  • Channels:
    • Add a Member to a Channel
    • Remove a Member from a Channel
    • List Channel Members

No special flow configuration is needed. Add the capability and populate its properties according to the help text.

Sending a message to a channel

A screen capture of the complete send message flow.

You can use the connector to send a message to a channel.

This flow requires the user to sign on with Microsoft and agree to let the connector send messages on their behalf. The Sign on with Microsoft node directs the browser to Microsoft. After the user signs on, Microsoft redirects the browser back to DaVinci to continue the flow.

  1. Download the Microsoft Teams Channel Message flow template. For help, see Using DaVinci flow templates.
  2. Select the Send Message in Channel node.
  3. In the Team list, select the team associated with the channel or select Use Team ID and enter an ID in the Team ID field, such as 98c28bef-98f1-a658-435b-71eee19c8f5e.
  4. In the Channel list, select the channel or select Use Channel ID and enter an ID in the Channel ID field, such as 98c28bef-a658-435b-98f1-71eee19c8f5e.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Test the flow:
    1. Click Save, Deploy, and Try Flow.
    2. In Microsoft Teams, check the channel to see the message.

Sending a message to a chat

A screen capture of the complete send message flow.

You can use the connector to send a message to a chat.

This flow requires the user to sign on with Microsoft and agree to let the connector send messages on their behalf. The Sign on with Microsoft node directs the browser to Microsoft. After the user signs on, Microsoft redirects the browser back to DaVinci to continue the flow.

The flow also requires a chat ID. For help getting a chat ID, see Listing a user's chats.

  1. Download the Microsoft Teams - Chat message flow template. For help, see Using DaVinci flow templates.
  2. Select the Send a Message in a Chat node.
  3. In the Chat ID field, enter the unique ID of one of the user's chats, such as 19:ce95abaa0e9f4d22a0e0faa6aad76c56@thread.v2. For help getting a chat ID, see Listing a user's chats.
  4. In the Message Object field, create a JSON object with the message details. This allows you to use all features supported by the Microsoft Graph API, such as HTML formatting, user @mentions, and file attachments.

    For example:

    {
  "body": {
    "contentType": "html",
    "content": "Welcome, <at id=\"0\">Jane Smith</at>"
  },
  "mentions": [
    {
      "id": 0,
      "mentionText": "Jane Smith",
      "mentioned": {
        "user": {
          "displayName": "Jane Smith",
          "id": "19:ce95abaa0e9f4d22a0e0faa6aad76c56@thread.v2",
          "userIdentityType": "aadUser"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

    For help creating the JSON object, see Chat message in the Microsoft Graph API documentation.

  5. Click Apply.
  6. Test the flow:
    1. Click Save, Deploy, and Try Flow.
    2. In Microsoft Teams, check the chat to see the message.

Listing a user's chats

A screen capture of the complete List Chats flow.

You can use the connector to get a list of chats that the user belongs to. You can use the chat IDs from this flow to send messages to specific chats.

Download the Microsoft Teams - Chat list flow template. For help, see Using DaVinci flow templates.

This flow requires the user to sign on with Microsoft and agree to let the connector send messages on their behalf. The Sign on with Microsoft node directs the browser to Microsoft. After the user signs on, Microsoft redirects the browser back to DaVinci to continue the flow.

The Custom HTML Message node shows a list of chats. You can copy a chat ID to send messages to that chat on behalf of the user.

A screen capture of the output from the List Chats capability.

Creating a custom API call

If you want to do something that isn't supported by one of the provided capabilities, you can use the Make a Custom API Call capability to define your own action.

This capability uses the credentials from your connection to make an API call with the HTTP method, headers, query parameters, and body you specify.
