How to connect Microsoft Teams and OpenAI GPT Assistants
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft Teams and OpenAI GPT Assistants
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Microsoft Teams, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft Teams or OpenAI GPT Assistants will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft Teams or OpenAI GPT Assistants, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Microsoft Teams Node
Select the Microsoft Teams node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Teams, OpenAI GPT Assistants, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Microsoft Teams and OpenAI GPT Assistants integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Teams and OpenAI GPT Assistants (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Teams and OpenAI GPT Assistants
Microsoft Teams + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Jira: When a new channel message is posted in Microsoft Teams, the message is sent to an OpenAI GPT Assistant for summarization and action item extraction. Based on the extracted action items, new issues are created in Jira.
Microsoft Teams + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Google Calendar: When a new chat message is received in Microsoft Teams, the message is sent to an OpenAI GPT Assistant to identify meeting requests. The assistant then uses the details to create a new event in Google Calendar.
