Re: Building a customizable app for Teams
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.1.4KViews1like2CommentsBuilding a customizable app for Teams
Hi, I recently noticed that in the Microsoft Teams Admin Center in the Manage App section, some apps are "customizable". I am creating an app which will send requests to a software that is installed on-premises and thus has different domain name depending on the organisation using it (xxx.com, abc.com…). Could I use this feature to make the domain name customizable by the Teams admin so that the app is ready to use by the Teams users. I also wonder if and how I can use this customized data (I suppose it is manifest data) in my app code (note: I am using NodeJS). Side question, I also noticed a "Settings" tab which is always empty, what is it for, how can I add settings to my app? Thank youSolvedBuilding and installing a Teams bot app for on-premises softwares
I am quite new to Teams and to building bots for it, so I am still trying to figure things out and find my way through the documentation. Using NodeJS, I built a simple prototype one that can receive notifications and send requests to my software. However, my software is installed on-premises, which means all users using it have a different domain name for it (xxx.com, abc.com…). To be able to use it, the app needs to know what is the endpoint of the requests. I wonder how I can build my bot app in those conditions and have it in the Teams Marketplace. My question is : I assume I want a team admin to set the domain name in some app settings before installing it for a team and users to use. Is it even possible? If yes how? I suppose it is possible to achieve that by having the users install a custom app, but then the app cannot be in the Marketplace. I also suppose I can ask individual users to first enter the name of the domain, it sounds repetitive and the info would then be stored in some userData. Isn't there some teamData instead? Could it mean having one user set those information and have them stored for everyone?1.5KViews0likes1Comment
