You can use Microsoft Teams as a communication channel when sending posts from the Studio. For this, you need to configure an Entra ID app and a Teams app according to the steps below. Both apps are required.

This article only concerns creating a Microsoft Teams integration for the Multichannel Communication module. For information on the Modern Intranet module's Microsoft Teams integration, view Microsoft Teams Integration: Setup (Cloud).
