How to connect Microsoft Teams and Tools
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft Teams and Tools
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 Tools will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft Teams or Tools, 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, Tools, 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 Tools integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Teams and Tools (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 Tools
Microsoft Teams + Jira: When a new channel message is posted in Microsoft Teams, if the message contains keywords indicating a critical bug, create a high-priority issue in Jira.
Tools + Google Sheets + Microsoft Teams: Track tool usage by fetching data from Key-Value Storage in Tools. Add the usage data as a new row in Google Sheets, and then send a daily summary report to a specific channel in Microsoft Teams.
