The time it takes to process the numerous emails we receive daily can be quite significant, can't it?
Especially in roles focused on customer support or transactions with key clients, understanding the content, passing it on to other teams, downloading attachments, or summarizing lengthy emails can all become substantial tasks. Handling emails alone can sometimes become quite a workload, don't you think?
When this becomes a daily routine, it can be quite a hassle, right…?
The solution to alleviating such workload is the API integration of Outlook and Microsoft Teams using the no-code tool Yoom! By implementing automation through API integration, you might be able to handle email processing more efficiently.

[What is Yoom]
We will create a flow bot that sends a notification to Microsoft Teams when an email with a specific subject is received in Outlook!
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps:
First, register Outlook and Microsoft Teams, which will be used this time, in Yoom's My Apps.
Registering with My Apps in advance will make the subsequent automation setup smoother.

The following screen will be displayed, so click on the Microsoft365 account linked to the Outlook you want to integrate this time.
Enter the account password on the password input screen and click sign in.
Click "Add" on the right side of Yoom's screen.
*Regarding Microsoft365 (formerly Office365), if you are not subscribed to the general corporate plan (Microsoft365 Business), authentication may fail.
Enter Microsoft Teams in the search box and click on the displayed suggestion.
The Microsoft365 account selection screen will be displayed, so click on the account you want to integrate this time.
Once sign-in is complete, you will return to the My Apps screen, and Microsoft Teams will be displayed.
This completes the integration of the necessary apps with My Apps.
To set up automation, click "Try it" on the banner below.
Read the following screen display and click "OK".
If changes are necessary, you can make them by clicking on the relevant section.
In this step, we will proceed with the settings to detect the receipt of emails with specific subjects in Outlook using Yoom's API and automatically share them in Microsoft Teams.
Let's actually operate the flowbot.
Click on the red box labeled "When an email with a specific subject is received".
Check to ensure there is no mistake with the Outlook account you are linking with, and click "Next".
Next, a screen like the one in the image below will be displayed.
After inputting, click "Test" to obtain the content of the Outlook email as retrieved value.
After confirming the test is successful, click "Save".

By utilizing the retrieved value during input, you can easily enter the content obtained in Outlook.
After inputting, click "Test" to actually perform a test transmission.
After confirming "Test Success", click "Save".
