This article provides details on how Enboarder will interact with Microsoft Teams to send your Notifications to a channel and proactive messages to users, including the endpoints and configuration required.

We are using the Microsoft Bot framework Rest API to send messages.

Like anything worth doing, integrations take time. Please allow up to 4 weeks for this integration to be completed, this includes time for scoping, development and testing. You’ll also need to have a system expert and/or system administrator to assist in the completion of this integration.

Please note: when you integrate, there's no need to do this in a test environment, as it won't start sending teams chats to anyone who hasn't opted-in for them (it would continue to send to their current channel preference)

Here are the steps for Integration:

Click on the Apps icon on the bottom left pane. Then either search the App by typing enb or enboarder. Alternatively, you can click into the 'Human resources' category and browse for the Enboarder App.

Now click on the Enboarder App. You will see the detail page. On the detail page click on the “Add to a team” option from the dropdown menu.

Search for the General channel and add it to the team.

Once the bot is added in Teams, send a ‘Hi’ message to the Enboarder bot, and the tile will show as Integrated with Enboarder.

Note - In case you have multiple Accounts in Enboarder and you want to Integrate all or some specific accounts. You can do that by sending the Account Name in the message.

Ex- Say you have three accounts in Enboarder with Names Acct-1, Acct-2, and Acct-3. And you want to Integrate with Acct-1 and Acct-2. Then send the message with the Account like below

Similarly for the Next Account

Now Please go to Enboarder Application → Settings → Integration. You will see the tile as Integrated into the respective account.

Now you can send a notification to MSTeam from Enboarder. On new hire notification, the message will look like the below:

Note - The email ID of the employee in Enboarder to which you want to send notifications should be the user ID of MS Teams.
