Building a custom app that install a PowerBI tab with report
There's lots of documentation on building custom apps with tabs. There's also plenty of documentation on adding (manually) a PowerBI tab and connecting it to a report template. I'm exploring combinin...
Omri-ActivTrak - Yes, You can install powerBI tab with reports in teams. Could you please Check this Docs ?
Nikitha-MSFT thanks for your reply! However, I'm asking something a little different. I don't want to add a custom tab with PowerBI. I want to build an app that does this for the user and includes the report that we are providing them. Then we can publish this app where users can discover it (in the app marketplace).
Omri-ActivTrak you can should be able to do add Power BI with Microsoft Graph. However, you won't be able to add your report at this stage, just a tab where someone can configure that report
- First you need to add an app (in your case Power BI) to the team using Add app to team - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs.
- If you don't have the channel you want then you'll need to add that with Create channel - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs
- Then add a tab to that channel Add tab to channel - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs
- To add Power BI, see the app ID at Configuring the built-in tab types in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Docs but you'll see that you can't set any configuration at the moment.
I'd recommend voting up this in the Teams User Voice to boost the chances of being able to configure Power BI reports - Configure POWER BI tab if we have the report ID – Microsoft Teams UserVoice
