How it works

Enable your Zite app to send real-time notifications to Microsoft Teams. This lets your app post updates to channels based on activity, so your team stays informed. By connecting Teams, you can:
  • Send alerts to Teams when records are created, updated, or reach a specific status
  • Trigger automated messages for approvals, reminders, or time-sensitive actions
  • Send alerts using rich text formatting, including direct links to your app

​
How to automate notifications

1

Connect to Teams

In the chat box, request your app to be integrated with Teams or click the plug icon  on the top right. Then, sign in to your Microsoft work or school account.

Enter your use case

Tell Zite how you want to use Teams in your app. In our example, we’ll send a message to the “General” channel every time someone volunteers.
