Microsoft Teams Overview#

The Microsoft Teams API on Pipedream allows you to automate tasks, streamline communication, and integrate with other services to enhance the functionality of Teams as a collaboration hub. With this API, you can send messages to channels, orchestrate complex workflows based on Teams events, and manage Teams' settings programmatically.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "microsoft_teams-new-chat",
  name: "New Chat",
  description: "Emit new event when a new chat is created",
  version: "0.0.7",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    async getResources(lastCreated) {
      return this.getNewPaginatedResources(
        this.microsoftTeams.listChats,
        {},
        lastCreated,
      );
    },
    generateMeta(chat) {
      return {
        id: chat.id,
        summary: chat.topic ?? `Chat ID ${chat.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(chat.createdDateTime),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Microsoft Teams	`microsoftTeams`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft Teams app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the YouTube API on this schedule

Trigger Authentication#

Microsoft Teams uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Microsoft Teams account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Microsoft Teams and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Microsoft Teams API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

User.Reademailoffline_accessopenidprofileChat.ReadChat.ReadWriteChatMessage.SendChannel.ReadBasic.AllChannelMessage.Read.AllChannelMessage.SendTeam.ReadBasic.AllSchedule.Read.All

About Microsoft Teams#
