You can add MSPbots to a Microsoft Teams channel or chat to let everybody in your team know about each other's status in the Attendance Manager.
This article is a guide on the steps for how you can receive Attendance notifications in the Teams channel or chat.
To set up your Teams channel or chat to receive notifications
- Launch Microsoft Teams and click Apps.
- Locate MSPbots on the list and click on it.
- On the MSPbots window, click the dropdown button beside Open and select Add to a team or Add to a channel.
- Suppose you selected Add to a team, type or select the chat or team name. On the other hand, if you selected Add to a chat, type or select the name of a member or chat.
- Once you have made your selection, click the Set up a bot button.
If you selected Add to a chat, this step will open the Teams chat box.
- Notice that MSPbots is in the input field by default. Type help after MSPbots and press Enter to send.
- Your setup is successful when you receive a message with the list of commands for the Attendance Manager app.
Another way to verify a successful setup is to use one of the commands and see if you get a response. For example:- Type @MSPbots and select the suggestion.
- Then, type break after MSPbots and press Enter to send.
- You will receive a message confirming the start of your break.
This will also reflect on the Attendance app like below.
- Type @MSPbots and select the suggestion.
This feature and the commands work on the team or group chat where you installed the MSPbots teams add-on only.
