Which Teams addons or Connectors are must use in Teams?
I get asked this question by clients and honestly I don't know what to answer and where to send them except to the full list of apps. What would be your top 5 apps and connectors anyone should add to...
Ghislain_Parent I'm TOTALLY biased because I wrote them :), but I've got a couple of Teams apps that I released to beta recently, some of which might be useful for this:
- Reminders - similar to the Slack equivalent, a bot and/or personal tab for when you want to be reminded about a set topic ("remind me on Tuesday to file my TPS report"), or an actual Teams message (it adds to the Messages context menu). Allows once-off or recurring reminders that are time-zone aware
- Quicklinks - this is a shared tab in a channel, basically like "shared shortcuts" for within a team/channel
- Shortlinks - functions as a command in the top command bar in Teams, lets use take long links (like links to docs in Teams or SharePoint online) and create short ones you can paste into Teams messages, emails, etc.
- Quotatious - more fun/interest, this app sends a daily/weekly/ad-hoc famous quote
The apps are just in beta for now, not in the store yet, so you need to side-load the manifest at the moment. To find out more about them, see https://www.chitchattr.com/#products, and https://www.chitchattr.com/sideloading/ . I'm running a private beta right now, if you or anyone else wants early access to these tools (feedback highly appreciated!).
The Quotatious one you actually don't need to side load, you can connect to it directly into Teams via the following link if you want to test it out: https://apps.chitchattr.com/TeamsBots/Quotatious
