Hi ccr-ms

See article

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/customize-apps#:~:text=%20Customize%20apps%20in%20Microsoft%20Teams%20%201,customized%20app%3F%20Although%20the%20admin%20can...%20More%20

The only properties you can customise are

Short name
Short description
Full description
Privacy policy URL
Website URL
Terms of use URL
Color icon
Outline icon
Accent color

The article should show how to do it.

The settings tab is also available for a few applications where settings can be modified. For example the Approvals App let you pick specific e-signature software to use. Today it shows Adobe Sign, later on it will show DocuSign and other vendors

Hope that answers your question

Best, Chris

    Thank you ChrisHoardMVP for your reply.

     

    I understand that it is not possible to use the "Customize app" feature for what I want to achieve.

     

    However, I am still not sure how I can add settings to my bot app for people to configure it. Do you know of any developer documentation about that ?

     

    Thanks again for your time.

      I'll raise it to see if I can get an answer on where the settings (tab within the TAC) would be set. I don't personally know myself so would be interested to follow up. If I get a response I'll circle back here

      Best, Chris
