Once Teams integration has been enabled within MetaKarta, every object Teams integration has a "Teams widget" on its Overview tab in the object page with Teams link management functionality. From that widget, that user may manage existing links (add, edit, remove) or create new posts in Teams (team/channel context).

Object Preview or Link Unfurling

Link unfurling is a feature to see a link target preview. The bot supports this preview for the repository objects links. It works both for links just added to the compose area (not yet sent) and links sent to a conversation. The bot parses the link for the repository object ID and performs a lookup by ID at the configured application server using the REST API.

If found result will be displayed in "preview mode". It might be shown in the "full mode" (full information block) if that link wasn't sent to the conversation.

It usually takes a few seconds for bot to display MM Object card for a given link.

Teams personal notifications

A user within MetaKarta may be subscribed to the changes to objects in MetaKarta via email notifications. Notification will be sent to the user's personal chat with the bot.

There are several requirements to configure Teams notifications:

  • Teams Bot integration should be configured

  • Teams user should have bot installed for personal chat(1 to 1)

  • Teams user email should match MM user email(which subscribes for notifications)

  • Teams user should configure notifications target to either "teams" or "both"(emails and teams)

Teams Post Creation

The post creation popup has required subject, text fields and optional list of users to mention.

Any post will be posted by the bot in the configured Teams team and selected Teams team/channel. It will contain:

  • Subject

  • Text

  • A repository object card

  • Any user mentions.

As explained early, users who are mention should have matching emails (in Teams and MM). Otherwise this Teams mention to the missing user email would be included simply as plain text.

Teams object linking

To add a link to the Teams message, you may use the Teams context menu to Copy link. This link will be saved for the current repository object.

Additionally, if the Graph API is configured the link subject will be automatically queried and constructed so you may leave it before saving. Otherwise you should specify some link title.
