Teams (by Microsoft)
Teams, by Microsoft, is one of the biggest internal communication channels. With that in mind, having notification integrations that can seamlessly send out either a mass blast or personalised communication has become the need of the hour.
And we're here for it.
Teams can be integrated in 2 ways, depending on your requirement:
- Teams Incoming Webhook
- Teams Bot App
To understand each the capabilities of each integration method, here is a handy list for you:

Able to message individual person | Yes | No |
Able to message group chat | Yes | No |
Able to message public channel | Yes | Yes |
Able to message private channel | No | Yes |
Able to send card message | Yes | Yes |
Able to send welcome message | Yes | No |
Able to retrieve Teams context | Yes | No |
Require installation step on Teams | Yes | No |
Require Azure resource | Azure Bot Service | No |
The integration process also varies, depending on the method. Let's have a look at this now.

Message Delivery Status
Teams (by Microsoft), by default, does not provide the status of the notification sent out. This is not a configurable feature as well.
As and when this becomes a supported feature, Fyno will integrate the same into the application.
In the meantime, for every Trace for Teams, the Delivery tab under Trace will not be seen.
