# Microsoft Teams

> Ask the rescue from Teams, and get your own notifications there.

The Teams app is the same bot as the [Slack](/integrations/slack) one, for a rescue whose team works in Microsoft Teams. Once it is connected:

* **Ask it** in your own chat with the app: an animal, your tasks, who is on shift, what is waiting. It answers as you.
* **Your notifications**, in your chat with the app, for each person who turns it on.

## Connect it

Two people may be involved: your Teams admin, who adds the app to your Microsoft 365 organization, and an organization admin at the rescue, who connects it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the package">
    In RescueConsole, open **Settings → Advanced & security → Integrations**. Under **Microsoft Teams**, press **Download the Teams package**. Only an organization admin can.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the app to Teams">
    In Teams, open **Apps**, then **Manage your apps**, then **Upload an app**, and upload the package. Your organization may only let a Teams admin do this.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Take a code">
    Back on the Integrations page, press **Take a code**. It works once, for fifteen minutes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send it to the app">
    In Teams, open a chat with **RescueConsole** and send `connect` and the code, for example `connect K7QX2MPA`. The app says which rescue it now answers for.
  </Step>
</Steps>

A Microsoft 365 organization answers for one rescue.

## Ask it

In your chat with the app, send what you want to know:

| Send | And get |
| - | - |
| `Biscuit` or `A00042` | Up to five animals whose name or ID matches, with a link to each. |
| `tasks` | Your own tasks due today or overdue. |
| `shifts` | Who is booked on a shift today. |
| `waiting` | Applications waiting for an answer: received, or being reviewed. |
| `help` | The list above. |

Teams has no way to show a message to one person in a channel, so the app answers only in your own chat with it. Asked anywhere else, it says so.

It knows who you are by the email address Teams has for you, which must be the one you sign in to RescueConsole with, and it answers with your own role: see [who is asking](/integrations/slack#who-is-asking).

## Your notifications in Teams

On **My account**, tick **Send my notifications to me in Microsoft Teams**. It is off until you turn it on. The app sends them to your chat with it, so send it a message first ("help" will do) if you never have.

## Disconnect

Press **Disconnect** on the Integrations page. The app stops answering for your rescue and nobody gets notifications there. To remove the app from Teams itself, your Teams admin removes it there.

## The demo

The demo cannot be connected to Teams: everybody shares its sign-in, and the app would answer for the demo in a real organization.
