How to set up Teams API linking

1. Open Teams and click "Teams" > 横てん.png > "Add channel" to create a channel to show Unipos posts on.

We recommend creating a dedicated channel to display Unipos posts in order to separate business communication and Unipos posts.

2. Click "Team" > 横てん.png > "Manage team"

3. Click "Apps" > "More apps"

4. Search and click the Unipos app in the search window

5. Click the downward caret symbol (v) next to "Open" (don't click "Open"), and click "Add to a team"

6. Search and click the channel name which you wish to set up Teams API linking on. Click "Create a bot" at the bottom

※The default settings allows you to set up Teams API linking on a General channel only, even if you attempt to set it up on another channel.

Once the Teams API linking is set up, the following message will be displayed on the timeline of your General channel.

7. Click 横てん.png at the bottom right-hand corner and type "unipos", in order to link Unipos to a dedicated channel

8. Click "Change the linked channel"

9. Choose "Unipos channel" and click "Change"

※You can't choose a private channel.

Once the channel is successfully, changed, the following message will be displayed.

【Unipos posts will be played on this channel.】

 

This completes the setup process.

Once Teams API linking is complete, Unipos will indicate "API linkage ongoing" on Unipos Team Admin > Link external services.
