Key notes
Doing your job at theofficewould be a lot harder if you couldn’t communicate with your team members and colleagues. That is why there are plenty ofcollaborative software toolsavailable for companies to use
One such collaborative program isSlack.Slackis a cloud-basedinstant messagingtool that allows people to group up together in channels known as Workplaces.
Another good example of a great collaborative tool isMicrosoft Teams. It combines persistent workplacechat, video meetings, file storage, and application integration.
These two services sound very familiar and serve a common purpose, so integrating one’s feature into the other was bound to happen at one point of another.
How can I integrate Slack and Microsoft Teams?
1. Use Web services
Several web services out there offer you the chance to integrate Slack andMicrosoft Teamswith each other.
Some of the most popular ones are the following:
The great part about these tools is that they all pretty much function in the same way:
One thing you should remember about these services is that they only work with the browser versions ofSlackandMicrosoft Teams. As such, if you are going to be using the two constantly, you might as well go ahead and uninstall the desktop clients.
Additionally, some of these services aren’t free, which is kind of disappointing given how they are used to connect two free services together.
2. Use APIs and bots
Microsoft made a Slack connector available in itsconnector inventory. It enables some Slack andMicrosoft Teamscrossover, and you will benefit from functionality like joining a Slack channel and can even set triggers for certain events.
As you may have noticed, there aren’t many things that you can do if you want to integrateMicrosoft TeamswithSlack. The lack of direct integration features between the two services probably stems from the fact that the two are actually in directrivalry with each other.
Whichever the case, if you want to integrate some ofMicrosoft Teams‘ functionality into Slack and vice-versa, at least you now know that it can be done, albeit in a limited fashion.
Do you think Slack andMicrosoft Teamsshould be able to integrate with each other more directly?
