# Microsoft Teams integration for usedocs

Enterprise support teams live in Teams. This integration brings docs AI exceptions into the same channel where on-call already coordinates.

TL;DR

## Short answer

usedocs posts handoff and lead notifications to Microsoft Teams via an incoming webhook connector URL. Create the webhook in Teams, paste it into Integrations, enable handoff capabilities, and verify with a test escalation.

## Overview

Teams incoming webhooks accept HTTPS JSON posts. usedocs uses that path for operational alerts when the bot escalates or captures a lead. It complements — does not replace — your ITSM or ticket queue. Pair with Monitor for assignment if you need richer case state. Coordinate with IT on connector allowlists before a company-wide rollout. Some tenants block incoming webhooks by default. Provide a one-page internal runbook: how to acknowledge a usedocs alert, when to open a ticket, and how to update documentation after a recurring miss. Avoid posting customer emails into broad Teams channels if privacy policy forbids it — restrict membership or redact in a middleware webhook if needed.

## What this integration does

### Escalation posts

Low-confidence or handoff events appear in the chosen Teams channel with conversation context fields. Keep configuration documented in your internal runbook so new teammates can reinstall the integration without reverse-engineering the dashboard.

### Lead alerts

Optional lead notifications help success teams respond when visitors leave contact info. Keep configuration documented in your internal runbook so new teammates can reinstall the integration without reverse-engineering the dashboard.

### Enterprise-friendly setup

Works with standard Teams webhook connectors many IT admins already allowlist. Keep configuration documented in your internal runbook so new teammates can reinstall the integration without reverse-engineering the dashboard.

## Setup

   01

**Add an incoming webhook in Teams** Channel → Connectors / Workflows → Incoming Webhook → copy URL.

   02

**Connect in usedocs** Integrations → Microsoft Teams → paste HTTPS URL → save.

   03

**Enable handoff capabilities** Capabilities → human handoff / lead notify as needed.

   04

**Send a test event** Force a refuse-to-answer path or test lead; confirm the Teams card/text arrives.

## Limits and plan notes

- Depends on Microsoft connector policies in your tenant.
- Webhook secret rotation is manual when URLs leak.
- Not a full Teams bot with adaptive card actions unless extended later.
- Plan gates may apply.

## Not for you if…

If you require Graph API bots with interactive approve buttons inside Teams, the simple webhook path is not enough. Use it for alerts; keep ticketing for workflow state.

## FAQ

### Does this use Azure AD app registration?

The basic path uses Teams incoming webhooks, not a full multi-tenant Teams app.

### Can we target private channels?

Yes if the webhook is created for that channel and permissions allow.

### What about email escalation?

Email escalation is separate under Capabilities and can run alongside Teams.

### Latency?

Queue-based delivery is near real time under normal load.

### Security review tips?

Document the webhook as a secret, restrict dashboard roles, and rotate on staff changes.

### Plan requirements?

Confirm integration access on your plan in the dashboard billing/limits UI.

## Connect in the dashboard

Start free, add your docs, then configure integrations under the bot settings.
