Why Microsoft Teams?

With most businesses working remotely, asynchronous communication tools like Microsoft Teams have become important to keep the information flowing and everyone in the team on the same page. Thus, we at Teamhood felt it was important to give our customers a way of using Teamhood in this environment.

Teamhood and Microsoft Teams integration is aimed at making communication clearer and faster. By adding Teamhood to your Teams app, you will be able to quickly review task information and add new tasks to your workspace without leaving the app. There is no longer a need to switch between the two, allowing you and your team to work more effectively.

Are you curious to know more? Well, first of all, you have to make sure to have active accounts for both products. Sidenote: Teamhood trial users can use the Microsoft Teams integration without any limitations.

Creating Items from Microsoft Teams

To create a new work item from Microsoft Teams, navigate to the Teamhood app you have logged into and chat the Teamhood bot with “Add item”. A prompt will appear asking you to enter the task name, description, due date, workspace, and task board. You can also assign the task to yourself, making the process quick and easy.

Once the task is created, you will see a preview in the Microsoft Teams chat.

Preview Item Details in Microsoft Teams

Copy the Teamhood work item link and paste it into Microsoft Teams chats to quickly preview work item details and make sure everyone is on the same page. You will see the work item number, name, assignee, due date, and location on the workspace. When pasting the link, you can choose to see the full preview, or minimize it and only show the task name, due date, and assignee.
