This eliminates the need to manually register tasks, ensuring that necessary tasks are reliably listed. Since you can convert chat interactions directly into tasks, there's no worry about overlooking anything, and the development process becomes smoother.
Create a GitHub Issue When a Message is Posted in Microsoft Teams
You can automatically register content from conversations in Microsoft Teams as GitHub Issues. This eliminates the need to switch tools, allowing you to add tasks quickly. It makes it easier for the development team to manage tasks in a timely manner and prevents any tasks from being overlooked.
Let's Create a Microsoft Teams and GitHub Integration Flow
API integrations that previously required programming can now be done easily without any programming! Try it out and experience the simplicity for yourself. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, you can create one from the registration form.
[What is Yoom]
In this article, we will explain how to set up a flow bot that "creates an issue in GitHub when a specific condition message is received in Microsoft Teams."
Flow Bot Setup Process
Integrate Microsoft Teams and GitHub with My Apps
Copy the template
Set up actions for Microsoft Teams and GitHub
Turn on the trigger to complete the flow setup
Step 1: Set Up My App Integration
Here, you will configure the settings to register the app information to be integrated with Yoom. After logging into the Yoom workspace, click "+ Add" on the My Apps screen.
A list of apps available in Yoom will be displayed. Search for the app you want to integrate using the search box and proceed to register it to My Apps.
Microsoft Teams
Select Microsoft Teams from the search results. You will be redirected to the Microsoft sign-in screen, where you will enter your Microsoft 365 login information.
Note: Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) has both personal and business plans (Microsoft 365 Business). If you are not subscribed to a business plan, authentication may fail.
After entering and adding the login information, the registration of Microsoft Teams to My Apps is complete.
GitHub
Search for GitHub in the search box and click on the app name to display the GitHub sign-in screen.
After entering your GitHub account information, click "Sign In" to complete the My App integration.
Step 2: Copy the Template
Once the My App integration is complete, proceed to set up the Flow Bot template. Please proceed to copy the template from the banner below.
When the popup below appears, click "OK" to start the setup!
The copied template will be added to My Projects. You can access My Projects from the left menu bar.
Step 3: App Trigger "When a message is sent to the channel"
Click on the first step of the template to set the trigger (starting point) for the flow bot. In this step, you will configure the settings to specify a channel in Microsoft Teams.
(1/2) Select Your Account
Check the configured items and click "Next" to proceed.
Title
App
Account information connected to Microsoft Teams
Trigger action
(2/2) API Connection Settings for the App Trigger
Trigger Interval
Set the trigger interval for the flow bot. *The shortest trigger interval varies depending on your subscription plan.
Team ID
Click the edit field to display a list of linked teams. Select the team that contains the relevant channel. The ID will be quoted upon selection.
Channel ID
Similarly, click the edit field to display a dropdown menu with channel options. Select the channel to be linked.
Once channel selection is complete and a message is sent, return to the flow bot and click the "Test" button. Upon successful testing, the latest message content can be retrieved. In Yoom, the items obtained are called retrieved value.
Click on the second step of the template. In this step, you will configure the settings to extract only the comments to be registered in the Issue from the values obtained in Microsoft Teams. The light blue icon (indicating configured) is lit, but let's explain the contents.
(1/1) Specify Branch Conditions
The following items are pre-configured on this screen.
Branch Target Values
Operation: The options are as follows.
Retrieved value: The options are as follows.
Branch Condition
Since "Message Content" is selected in the retrieved value, the extraction condition is set to equal the value of the message content.
This time, "equals" is selected for the value, and the value is set to "issue Creation". The condition options are as follows.
To add more branch conditions, click "Add Another Condition".
*Notice
Branching is a feature (operation) available with some paid plans. In other cases, the operation of the configured flow bot will result in an error, so please be careful.
A 2-week free trial of the paid plan is available. During the free trial, you can use restricted apps and features (operations).
Click "Save" to proceed to the next step.
Step 5: Extract Data from Text
Click on the third step after branching. This step involves extracting items corresponding to tasks from the message. The light blue icon is lit, but let's explain the contents.
(1/2) Select Action
The following items are pre-configured.
Conversion Type
Click "Change" to display the following options.
The number of consumed tasks increases in proportion to the amount of text to be read, so please select the appropriate type.
Pre-configured with the output of the message obtained from Microsoft Teams, so no additional settings are required. By the way, this retrieved value is embedded by selecting an item from the dropdown menu displayed when you click the edit field.

10 years as a web planner and director. When I worked for a web production company, my main focus was on proposing modifications and operation plans to clients and proceeding with production. I'm currently a parallel worker. We produce blogs in Yoom's content division, and receive external public relations projects for companies in our individual business. Since we are starting a private lodging, we aim to thoroughly improve the efficiency of routine work!
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
