Users sending direct messages to shared mailbox
We have users are sending direct messages to a shared mailbox in Teams. I've checked Power Automate incase there was an obvious fix but it seems to be things like "if you are mentioned in a Team or Channel" unless I've totally missed it. Perhaps setting up a Power Virtual Agent might be a workaround but it seems like overkill. I was wondering how everybody else deals with this isssue? Thanks!
Best route to creating a permission-limited shared calendar in Outlook and Teams? Tearing hair out!
Hi there, I've got a conundrum which I can't easily find an answer to. We're trying to get Teams rolled out and one of the really good tools to draw people in would be a shared annual leave calendar displayed in a Teams Tab. But this is where it gets problematic. What I really want to achieve is to have an calendar address where staff can send dates via a meeting invite etc eg to "annualleave@xxxxx.com" This calendar would be administered by the admin, who only wants other people to have read permissions. It could then be shared and read in other people's Outlook calendars. My first approach was to create a Shared Mailbox with the annualleave@xxxx.com address. This works fine in Outlook and does everything we need. So far, so good. But how then do we get this calendar to also appear in Teams as a tab so that people can view it in Teams and not just in Outlook. I'm dealing with some really technophobic people so I want to minimise learning. Teams is going to be enough of a struggle. Is there a way to get a Shared Mailbox calendar to appear in Teams? If not, is there another solution eg using Power Automate to duplicate events, or to lock down permissions on a Group calendar. My understanding is that a Sharepoint Calendar is no good as it won't actively sync across to Outlook in all its forms. It feels a bit much to create an O365 group for this purpose, and in any case it would not be possible then to lock down permissions to Read, as I understand it. Has anyone got any ideas? The internet seems startlingly quiet on this one! Rich
