Microsoft Teams Setup | Axero Documentation

Add Connect in Teams button to user profiles

The Microsoft Teams integration allows you to open a Teams chat with someone from their profile.

A Connect in Teams button also appears in the User Hover Card when you hover over a person's name.

1. In Axero, go to Control Panel > System > System Properties.
2. Search for EnableMSTeamsIntegration and edit it.
3. Set the value to true, then click Save.

Once you update the system property, the Connect in Teams button will appear on user profiles. Clicking the button will launch Teams.

How to Enable Microsoft Teams Notifications

Enable notifications in Microsoft Teams for content.

1. Go to https://entra.microsoft.com > select Entra ID in the left navigation. (Microsoft Entra ID is the current name for what used to be called Azure Active Directory.)
   
   
   

2. Click App registrations.
   
   

3. On the App registrations page, click on New registration.
   
   

4. Name: Enter app name.

   Supported account types: Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Microsoft Entra ID directory, multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts, for example Skype or Xbox.

   Redirect URI: Select Web, then enter your Axero base URL + /oauth2/MicrosoftTeams/callback

   Click Register.
   
   

5. On the Overview page, the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID will be automatically generated.
   
   

   To create a Client Secret, navigate to the Client Credentials > Add a certificate or secret section. Click to add a New client secret, and the system will automatically generate the necessary credentials for you.
   
   Copy all three credentials and save them for later. We will need these credentials when setting up in Axero.

6. In Axero, go to Control Panel > System > System Properties.
   
   
   

7. In the search bar, enter MicrosoftTeamsApi to display three properties related to Microsoft Teams API: MicrosoftTeamsApiClientID, MicrosoftTeamsApiClientSecret, and MicrosoftTeamsApiTenantId.

   Enter the values for them from the value we save in the App registration setup steps.
   
   

8. In Control Panel > Content > Notification Permissions
   
   

9. Select the role for which you want to enable Microsoft Teams notification.
   
   

10. Now when notifying users of content the Microsoft Teams option appears:
11. The following modal will appear. Then click Connect to Microsoft Teams.
    
    
12. The full notification modal will show now.

Pick the Microsoft Teams channel to post to, and add your own message. Axero puts a link to the content, and its summary where there is one, below your message.
