Frequently Asked Questions about Deputy + Microsoft Teams integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Deputy and Microsoft Teams

How do I set up the Deputy and Microsoft Teams integration?

To set up the integration between Deputy and Microsoft Teams, you'll need to connect both apps through our platform. Start by creating a new Zap where Deputy is selected as the trigger app, and Microsoft Teams as the action app. You'll authenticate both accounts, define your triggers such as 'New Shift' or 'Shift Update' in Deputy, and decide what actions like 'Send Channel Message' need to be taken in Teams.

What kind of triggers can I use with Deputy in my integration?

When integrating Deputy with Microsoft Teams, you can use various triggers such as 'New Staff Member', 'New Timesheet', 'Shift Start', or 'Task Completed'. These enable real-time notifications or messages to be sent directly into your chosen Teams channel.

Are there specific actions that can be performed in Microsoft Teams through this integration?

Yes, specific actions in Microsoft Teams include sending channel messages, creating a new channel, or scheduling a meeting whenever certain events occur in Deputy. You can customize these actions based on your organization's needs.

Can I customize message formats when using this integration?

Our platform allows for customization of message formats when setting up the action in Microsoft Teams. You can include dynamic elements from Deputy like staff names or shift details, ensuring your team receives all necessary information concisely.

Is it possible to update existing shifts in Deputy from Microsoft Teams?

Currently, updates from Microsoft Teams back to Deputy aren't supported as part of our standard integrations. The flow of information typically goes from Deputy to Teams rather than the other way around.

How does user authentication work for this integration?

User authentication for integrating Deputy with Microsoft Teams requires you to sign into each platform securely through our interface. Once authenticated, you grant permissions for data sharing required for trigger and action execution between these two services.

What happens if a trigger event doesn't cause any action in teams?

If a trigger event doesn’t cause an expected action in Microsoft Teams, check that all settings are properly configured. Ensure that connectivity between both applications is active and that any specified filters aren't inadvertently blocking actions.
