Setup

Introduction

To enable the Microsoft Teams activities, your app must be integrated with the Microsoft identity platform and have the correct Microsoft Graph API permissions assigned to it.

To integrate your application, assign permissions, and start building your automation project, you will first need to decide if you will create your own app or use the UiPath app (e.g. UiPathStudioO365App).

Important: If you are using the UiPath app then you will need to ensure that you add admin consent.

If you do not add admin consent you will see the error below.

If you are creating your own app, you will need to follow the steps below.

After registering your Microsoft Office Teams application, Azure Active Directory assigns a unique application (client) ID that you enter in the Microsoft Office Teams Scope.

Note:

If you already completed the Microsoft Office 365 Activities or have an existing registered application, you can go straight to the Add API permissions section and add the necessary permissions for the Microsoft Teams activities.

After adding the permissions, you'll be able to use the same ApplicationID in both the Microsoft Office 365 Scope and Microsoft Teams Scope activities.

Steps

1. Register Your Application

You're done! Now, let's add API permissions to your registered application.

2. Add API Permissions

From your registered application page (Azure portal > Azure Active Directory > App registrations > Office365App), click API permissions in the left-hand navigation panel.
After the API permission page opens, click + Add a permission (this opens the Request API permissions window).
Under Select an API, click Microsoft APIs (may be open by default).
Under Commonly used Microsoft APIs, click Microsoft Graph.
Under What type of permissions does your application require?, click Delegated permissions to show the list of permissions.
- While the Application permissions will also work, the activities are designed for apps with Delegated permissions assigned to the Microsoft Graph APIs.
- For more information about permission types, see Configure a client application to access web APIs in the Microsoft Azure documentation.
Use the search bar or scroll down the alphabetical list and select the following permissions:
- Chat.ReadWrite
- Group.ReadWrite.All
- User.Read.All
Click Add permissions (returning you to your list of API permissions)
Verify your API permissions include your added Chat, Group, and User permissions.

3. Build Your Project

You're done!

Now that you have completed the setup, you can start adding the Microsoft Teams activities to your project.

Next Steps

For a hands-on learning experience and to quickly start using the activities, see the Quickstart guides.These guides provide step-by-step instructions to help you create working samples of the different activities so that you can verify the connection to your registered app and get familiar with the input/output properties.
