Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams integration allows users to interact with Autom Mate AI Agents directly within their organization's collaboration environment.

By connecting an AI Agent to Microsoft Teams, employees can communicate with automation workflows using natural language without leaving the Teams interface.

This enables organizations to provide AI-powered assistance, service automation, and knowledge access directly inside Teams conversations.


How Microsoft Teams Integration Works

When a user sends a message to the bot in Microsoft Teams:

  1. The message is received by the Microsoft Teams Bot.

  2. The bot forwards the request to Autom Mate through a webhook endpoint.

  3. The request is processed by the configured AI Agent.

  4. The AI Agent may interact with integrated systems (ServiceNow, Xurrent, ServiceDesk Plus, etc.).

  5. The response is returned to Microsoft Teams and displayed to the user.

This architecture allows organizations to bring automation and AI-driven support directly into their internal communication platform.


Prerequisites

Before configuring the Microsoft Teams channel, ensure the following requirements are met:

  • An Autom Mate account

  • An AI Agent created in AI Agent Composer

  • Access to Microsoft Azure Portal

  • Permissions to create an Azure Bot

  • A configured Microsoft Teams tenant


Install the Microsoft Teams Bot

To connect Microsoft Teams with Autom Mate, you must first create and configure a Microsoft Teams bot in Azure.

This process includes:

  • Creating an Azure Bot resource

  • Configuring the bot messaging endpoint

  • Enabling the Microsoft Teams channel

  • Generating authentication credentials

For the complete installation steps, follow the official installation guide:

Connect Microsoft Teams to an AI Agent

Once the Teams bot is configured, you can connect it to an AI Agent inside Autom Mate.

Step 1 β€” Open the AI Agent Composer

Navigate to:

Select the AI Agent you want to enable for Microsoft Teams.


Step 2 β€” Open Channels

Go to the Channels section of the AI Agent configuration.

Select Microsoft Teams.


Step 3 β€” Copy the Webhook URL

The setup panel will display a Webhook URL.

This URL must be configured as the Messaging Endpoint in your Azure Bot configuration.

Example:

This endpoint allows Microsoft Teams messages to be forwarded to the Autom Mate AI Agent.


Step 4 β€” Select the Microsoft Teams Credential

In the next step, select an existing Microsoft Teams credential or create a new one.

Credentials store the authentication details required to communicate with Microsoft Teams.

Options include:

  • Select from existing credential

  • Create new credential

Once selected, complete the configuration.


Testing the Integration

After completing the setup:

  1. Open Microsoft Teams.

  2. Start a conversation with the configured bot.

  3. Send a message to the bot.

  4. The message will be processed by the AI Agent and a response will be returned.

You can now interact with the AI Agent directly inside Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams AI Agents are commonly used for:

  • IT support automation

  • Incident creation

  • Service request handling

  • Knowledge base search

  • Internal workflow automation
