MS Teams Node for easy communication

Feedback & Ideas
1

Is there a plan to develop a node which can write messages or documents into a MS Teams chat? By now there is the Email-Node (which btw is great!), but MS Teams tends to be the new communication plattform in many companies. This would greatly improve efficiency of data-delivery workflows withhin organisations.

Hello @petrich ,
this is a great idea. I have created a feature request for this with the internal number AP-19028. Would you be also interested in receiving messages or only send messages? What are typical use cases that you have in mind. Maybe sending a status message if a workflow fails/successfully executes? Would you also like to send attachments e.g. reports with the message?

Hello Tobias
Thanks for evaluating the idea.
My use case is quite simple: A workflow produces a curated data-file (Excel) on a weekly basis for various stakeholder for further analysis. After the file is produced, the stakeholder should be informed via MS Teams that the file is ready (maybe even with a hyperlink to the file location for a neat UX).
My use case didnt include the possibility to add the status messages or append attachments, but I really like the direction where this is going…Best regards Patrik

Hello Patrik,
thanks for the detailed use case. I can not tell you when we will support this but we will look into it and as soon as I know more I will update this thread

This would be an awesome addition. Especially for communicating failed workflows with detail on what/where/when failed.

Hello @tobias.koetter,
I read about the MS Teams node. IS something planned to offer this node in Knime ? I also need this function for some use cases :wink:

Hello @Romela ,

we have an opened feature request for this (internal number AP-19028) but I do not have a date when this will be developed.

However I have created a component that allows you to send messages to a Teams chat based on this blog post. You can find the component here and an example workflow that shows how the component is used here.

Let me know what you think of it and feel free to copy and adapt it to your needs.

Bye
Tobias
