Hi @all,
In our organization, we have created apps to take people poll/option of getting daily option for food, like below
Team app will do,
STEP1: user need to send hi to app
STEP2: app will reply with Yes/No to select food for tommorow
STEP3: user need to reply by selecting yes/no in the chart.
I would like to automate this reply to this app which is created by our org.
Could you confirm me in this how can i create the app or make auto reply to the app?
Thanks!!
Hi karthick2325,
for you to automate replies to an app in Microsoft Teams, you have two options: using a custom bot or creating Microsoft Power Automate flow.
1. Custom Bot: You can build a custom bot using the Microsoft Bot Framework. This involves creating a bot that interacts with users, receives their responses, and sends automated replies based on predefined rules or logic. You would define the conversation flow, handle user messages, and integrate the bot with Teams. Building a custom bot requires development skills and knowledge of the Bot Framework.
