How to Integrate GitHub with Microsoft Teams

Now, let's create a flow bot using the no-code tool Yoom that "notifies Microsoft Teams when a new issue is created in GitHub."
Yoom offers a free trial period, so it's recommended to try creating at least one flow bot!

My App Settings

Before creating a flow bot, you need to integrate Yoom with each app.
Rest assured, integrating GitHub and Microsoft Teams with Yoom is very simple!

Select "My Apps" from the menu on the left side of the "My Projects" page!

　　　　　↓

Click on Create New at the top right! Enter "GitHub" in the search box, and when the GitHub icon appears, click on it.

　　　　　↓

Just follow the on-screen instructions to enter your ID and click Sign In!

　　　　　↓

Proceed to integrate My Apps with Microsoft Teams. It's recommended to log in to Microsoft 365 in advance, as the integration will be completed immediately.
Note: There are personal and business plans (Microsoft 365 Business) for "Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)." If you do not have a business plan, authentication from Yoom may not work properly, so please be careful.

　　　　　↓

As before, enter "Microsoft Teams" in the search box and click the Microsoft Teams icon... Integration was completed without any screen transition!
It really finished quickly, didn't it? Let's move on at this pace.

Click "Try it" on the banner below.

You will see "The template has been copied", so click "OK".

GitHub Trigger Settings

First, since you will be testing while assembling the flowbot, let's create an issue on GitHub in advance.

Once the My App integration is complete, click "My Projects" on the left side of the screen and then click "【Copy】When a new issue is created in GitHub, notify Microsoft Teams"! Press edit at the top right.

　　　　　↓

Press "When a new issue is created" on the GitHub icon. Since the necessary items are pre-entered by using the template, click Next as it is!
Using a template minimizes the settings, so templates are really recommended.

　　　　　↓

Enter the owner name and repository name. Enter according to the red frame in the image and it's OK.
Once entered, press "Test" at the bottom of the screen. If "Test successful" is displayed in blue, save it.

That's all for the GitHub settings. It's really easy to set up, isn't it!

Microsoft Teams Settings

The next setting is the last one!
Press "Send a message to the channel" on the Microsoft Teams logo.

　　　　　↓

Check the account information to be linked.
The title and action are already entered here as well. Templates are really convenient!

　　　　　↓

Press Next to enter the API Connection Settings page. There are input fields for the team ID and channel ID, so keep entering them. Of course, enter the ID you want to receive notifications from GitHub.
　　　　　↓

Click inside the message box, and the options in the red frame of the image will appear, so click on them. Then, the contents of the issue will be displayed.
If you add any content here, you can notify Microsoft Teams, so if there is content you want to notify Microsoft Teams about, try selecting it.

　　　　　↓

Once you have decided on the content to notify, press "Test" at the bottom of the screen. When "Test successful" is displayed in blue, a notification has been sent to Microsoft Teams...! This is a moment of excitement.
Once you have confirmed that a notification has been sent to Microsoft Teams, don't forget to press "Save". This completes the creation of the flowbot. Well done!

Other Automation Examples with GitHub and Microsoft Teams

In addition to the flow introduced this time, you can achieve various business automations by using the APIs of GitHub and Microsoft Teams. All of them can be used with simple settings, so if there is anything you are interested in, please give it a try!

Automation Example Using Github

Notify Slack When an Issue is Created on GitHub

You can send notifications not only to Microsoft Teams but also to other chat tools like Slack.
Customize it for the tools you use regularly and give it a try!

Add new or updated GitHub Issues to Google Sheets

In addition to notifications, you can also add them to Google Sheets.
This is recommended for those who want to manage Issues collectively in Google Sheets.

When a GitHub issue is created, analyze the content with ChatGPT and add a comment

By having AI analyze the content and add comments, not only will it save time, but it will also help maintain a consistent quality of content.

Automation Example Using Microsoft Teams

When there is a response to the survey form, add the response content to Microsoft Excel and notify Microsoft Teams

This is a flow that adds the content of the survey form to Microsoft Excel and then sends a notification.
You can manage data collectively in Microsoft Excel while quickly disseminating information.

‍‍Notify Microsoft Teams when a record is created in the Salesforce lead object

It seems convenient to integrate not only with Github but also with Salesforce.
By combining different apps, you can improve work efficiency in various fields.

When a message is posted on Microsoft Teams, create a folder in OneDrive based on the message content

This is a flow that creates a folder in OneDrive based on the content of Microsoft Teams.
By simply posting on Microsoft Teams, you can automatically create a folder, which seems to significantly reduce effort.

Benefits of Integrating GitHub with Microsoft Teams

1. Speedy Notifications
Issues allow you to easily share and modify key points like code, enabling efficient feedback. Notifications are sent to Microsoft Teams when an issue is created, allowing the entire team to check the key points without any time lag!
You won't need to switch between different apps just for checking, and communication will become smoother.

2. Faster Information Sharing
‍When working on projects across teams, it's common to encounter issues like "Was this my responsibility?" due to missed confirmations. If you think you're done with your work but still have many areas to address, it can lower your motivation.
However, by integrating GitHub with Microsoft Teams, information sharing becomes more detailed and faster, minimizing confirmation errors even with frequent changes and additions.

3. Smoother Communication
‍Understanding the importance of communication, you might tend to delay non-critical messages. For such cases, integrating GitHub with Microsoft Teams is recommended.
Microsoft Teams' chat feature allows for easy communication, making it convenient to send messages even for trivial matters. By utilizing this advantage, sending a simple "Good job!" when an issue is modified can create a positive atmosphere.
If the team's minor communications go well, it can improve the overall atmosphere and boost productivity!

‍Conclusion

The battle with code in software development is endless. Even though you're creating something amazing, the process is often painstaking and involves battling bugs. If introducing a flow bot can alleviate some of these challenges and support developers, it would be a great pleasure!
There are many other flows that can be automated, so take this opportunity to explore Yoom while comparing it with the apps you use!
