UPDATE: March 3, 2023


Thank you to our partners and customers who signed up to try our Teams integration customization and provide feedback! As announced during the Summit 2023 Keynote session, Microsoft Teams integration will be available as part of the core product starting 2023 R1 as part of our new Experimental Features. We have made a lot of great improvements both in the integration as well as its usability. Yet we are just beginning.

We will be ending the Managed Availability Program for Teams integration for any new requests. This means that if you were a partner or customer as part of the program, you can continue using the integration as a customization that was provided. However, support, ongoing maintenance, and support for future versions will no longer be available from April 4, 2023. We will continue to monitor this community site as well as our interaction with customers and partners to collect ideas and feedback to help improve our Microsoft Teams Integration (core).

Since it was Managed Availability and the integration was available only as a customization project, we made several modifications and improvements when bringing this into the core product. As a result, a re-implementation is required to migrate from the customization to the core product. 

 

Hello ISV’s, partners, and customers,

We are getting ready for our Microsoft Teams integration to enter Managed Availability! As a result, we are looking to identify a few customers who would be ideal candidates to help provide feedback on this integration between Microsoft Teams and Acumatica. The integration will be available as a customization.

 

Watch the demonstration below or on Wistia to learn about the key features and benefits of this integration.

 

An ideal candidate for this particular integration would be customers who have an IT team/resource or if their IT operations are outsourced who can create some access rights and permissions. Specifically, the following capabilities are required:

  • Need to be able to create a user with a Teams Administrator Role in Azure
  • Need to be able to create a Microsoft Graph API application and configure OAuth security. Click “Show Content” below for the full list of permissions for Graph API. 
API / Permissions name Description
Channel.ReadBasic.All Read the names and descriptions of channels
ChannelMessage.Send Send channel messages
Chat.Create Create chats
ChatMessage.Send Send user chat messages
Files.Read.All Read all files that user can access
GroupMember.Read.All Read group memberships
offline_access Maintain access to data you have given it access to
Presence.Read.All Read presence information of all users in your organization
Sites.Read.All Read items in all site collections
Team.ReadBasic.All Read the names and descriptions of teams

If you are an interested customer, please comment below as well as reach out to your reseller/partner.

If you are a partner/ISV, please leave a comment below as well as follow the instructions over on the Managed Availability Overview page to create an Acumatica Presales Support Case with the appropriate information. 

Looking forward to working with you all as we roll out this exciting integration!

@dougmcbride79 we are now targeting 23R1 release. This will be available as an experimental feature which would be part of the core Acumatica product. Users will have the option to opt in and use this integration if desired.

@Omar Ghazi is MS Teams integration now in the core for 2022 R2?  Is there a package?

 

Thanks

@gmercede it’s not part of the core yet. We are now targeting 23R1 release and it will be an experimental feature (opt in/out) when it’s part of the core Acumatica product.

Is there a build for 22R2?

@gmercede yes, you should’ve directly received an email from us regarding this on Oct 6th. There was also a case opened for this by a colleague of yours and we provided the link to the 22R2 build via that case as well. Thanks!

One option would be a simple tel: href link then it will work in whatever the client has set up to handle phone numbers, Teams included.

We’re interested!  We have experience with Teams admin and Graph API

@Omar Ghazi: For 22R2, I have the customization package. Is this feature available to Acumatica customers? Or it is planned for 23R1?

Thank you everyone for participating! We will be winding down the Managed Availability Program for our Microsoft Teams integration since it is available in the core with 2023 R1. We will continue to support the customization for those who participated in the program until April 4, 2023. I have updated the original post to reflect this.

@Omar Ghazi, we are on 22R2 and have been using teams and recently starting using leads again. we’ve found that when we create any activity type including tasks the activity is saved but doesn’t show in the lead.

if you open the activity the related entity is the lead but again when you go to the lead no activity shows. have you guys found that teams could conflicting and causing this issue?

@Eddier47 

Here is the response from @Omar Ghazi 

Back in March, I posted an update explaining that the Managed Availability Program was ending and support/maintenance of the packages under the program was going to be deprecated on April 4. Clients need to be on 23R1 using the embedded Microsoft Teams integration into the core Acumatica product that is supported and maintained.

 

However, FYI - we have not seen this issue with not being able to see the activities in the Leads screen
