Microsoft Teams Automation

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with and automate tasks within Microsoft Teams. It allows for sending messages, creating teams, and managing channels—essentially bridging the gap between automated workflows and your team's communication hub. The agent can also be used to retrieve information from existing Teams conversations.

When to use it

• Automated Announcements: Schedule announcements or reminders to be posted in specific Teams channels.
• Team Onboarding: Automatically create new teams for project kickoffs, populated with relevant members and initial resources.
• Meeting Summaries: Have the agent automatically summarize key discussion points from a Teams meeting and post them to a designated channel.
• Information Retrieval: Quickly search past conversations within a team or channel to find specific information.

Key capabilities

• Sending messages to channels and users
• Creating new teams
• Managing existing channels (creation, deletion)
• Retrieving information from Teams conversations

Example prompts

• "Send a message to the #general channel saying 'Daily standup in 15 minutes!'"
• "Create a team called 'Project Phoenix' and add John Doe and Jane Smith."
• "Summarize the last week of conversation in the ‘Marketing’ channel."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires appropriate permissions within your Microsoft Teams environment. Ensure the AI agent has access to perform the requested actions, or it will be unable to execute commands successfully.
