Connect Microsoft Teams

Post new comments, replies and status changes to a Teams channel, with the screenshot, using a Teams workflow. Works on every plan.

Microsoft Teams posts each project’s new comments, replies and status changes to a channel as a card, with the screenshot and buttons back to the comment. It works on every plan, including AppSumo Tier 1. It is one-way: nothing you do in Teams changes Drobber.

Get a workflow URL from Teams#

Teams connects through a workflow in the channel, not in one click.

  1. In the Teams channel, open ••• > Workflows and choose Post to a channel when a webhook request is received.
  2. Name it Drobber and finish the steps.
  3. Copy the URL it gives you.

Connect it#

  1. Open the menu under your name and choose Integrations.
  2. On the Microsoft Teams card, open Connect Microsoft Teams, paste the URL into Workflow URL and press Connect Microsoft Teams.
  3. Drobber checks the URL and posts a "Drobber is connected" card in the channel.

Only the workspace owner can connect it for every project. If the URL isn’t a Teams workflow URL, Drobber says so and reminds you where to find it.

Turn it on for projects#

On the Integrations page, open Projects under Microsoft Teams and press Turn on next to each project, or Turn on for every project (which covers the projects you have now). In a project, it is under Settings > Connected tools: Send this project’s comments to Microsoft Teams. Any team member can do this.

The workspace connection posts to one channel. For a different channel on one project, open Microsoft Teams in that project’s Connected tools, choose Use a different Microsoft Teams account for this project, and paste the URL of a workflow made in the other channel.

What the cards show#

  • New comment: "New comment #12 on Project (page)", the text (up to 400 characters), who left it, the screenshot if there is one, and the buttons Open in Drobber and View on the page.
  • Reply: "Reply on #12 (Project)", the reply and who wrote it.
  • Status change: "#12 on Project is now Resolved".

Assigning a comment posts nothing, and developer details are never included.

Turn it off#

Press Turn off next to a project on the Integrations page or in its Connected tools. To stop every project, the workspace owner presses Disconnect on the Microsoft Teams card, then Disconnect Microsoft Teams.
