MS Teams Connector end of support clarification
- Jul 22, 2024
timothyrich - The recent announcement regarding the end of support for Teams connectors specifically mentions the retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams. This change will affect connectors that post content and service updates directly from third-party services into a Teams channel. The retirement process will occur in two waves, with new connector creation being blocked starting August 15th, 2024, and all connectors ceasing to function by October 1st, 2024. Microsoft recommends transitioning to Power Automate workflows as a more scalable, flexible, and secure solution to relay information into and out of Teams.
Retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams
To address your questions:
- The tab apps will continue to function, but any connector functionality within those apps that posts updates to channels or conversations will be affected.
- The announcement does not provide details on the use of the share URL to post into channels. However, if this functionality relies on Office 365 connectors, it may be impacted by the retirement.
Thanks,

Prasad_Das-MSFT Thanks for the informative answer!
Any suggestions on how we can find out of the share url will be impacted. We are assessing whether we need to make updates to our app before Oct.
Thanks

timothyrich - The share url will not be impacted. Only if it relies on o365 connector then might impact, otherwise no.

How do you classify new connector. Newly created this year, this week or today?
