View emails in Microsoft Teams
- Feb 23, 2020If you are wanting notifications in teams there is no way to directly access the activity feed. However you could utilize power automate flows and trigger on new email from the outlook connector and have the Teams Action “post a message as the flow bit to a user” This will send you a chat message from the flow bot letting you know you have a new message, you could even customize the message to include the subject of the email and who it’s from. This should give you a banner notification and chat toast when they come in.
ChrisWebbTech great idea
The only downside of things I see on this proposal is whatever happens after; you would need to go back to outlook to reply unless you create more advanced flow workflows with response capabilities (cards, bots, logic apps, etc.).
The real question is, why would you want to do this, please?
To have only one app?
Dimitri_Pletschette , Teams is a pig on memory, doesn’t matter for all the recommended performance adjustments. Outlook opened too, looking at 1.2GB-1.5GB of memory in use, that I need for other things, not chats and emails (and calendar). I have a spare iphone connected to a spare HDTV, and am looking for a way to let that iphone deal with any new messages or chat. And when received then I will open those memory pigs up on Windows to communicate and when done, shut them off and out of my laptops memory. I should not have to be hearing my Surface Book 2 Pro’s fan all day, because of these RAM hog crapplications…that for the most part, are only open for messages. I want a separate new chat/email messages/calendar dashboard that my iphone, which is fan-less, can manage…separate from my laptop…silence is bliss, RAM pollution is not. And neither Microsoft or Apple are very helpful in this regard.
