Benefits of Integrating Microsoft Teams and GitHub and Specific Use Cases

Streamlining Task Management and Reducing Workload

Integrating Microsoft Teams and GitHub significantly streamlines task management and greatly reduces the time spent on manual data migration.

For example, when a sales team posts "a new lead has been added" on Microsoft Teams, that information is automatically registered in GitHub, allowing sales representatives to immediately utilize the information. This can eliminate the need for manual data entry or migration, potentially increasing the time available to focus on important tasks. Additionally, quickly checking task progress can make team activities more transparent and lead to swift decision-making for the next steps.

This facilitates smooth information sharing among team members, and overall business progress is expected to proceed smoothly. By streamlining task management, it becomes easier to focus on other tasks, potentially improving overall productivity.

Strengthening Team Collaboration

The integration of Microsoft Teams and GitHub strengthens team collaboration and provides an environment where information sharing is more effective.

For example, when a sales team posts customer feedback or new project progress on Microsoft Teams, that information is automatically reflected in GitHub, allowing the entire team to quickly check the information. This unifies information across different departments or teams, enabling swift cooperation. Especially, it reduces discrepancies in information between different departments like development and marketing, allowing for quick responses to common challenges.

By quickly sharing progress and new challenges, team members can easily understand each other's efforts, potentially reducing unnecessary communication. Strengthening team collaboration can significantly improve work efficiency and ensure a clear path to achieving goals.

Reducing Task Duplication and Providing a Focused Work Environment

Integrating Microsoft Teams and GitHub reduces task duplication and creates an environment where you can focus on work.

For example, there is no longer a need to manually enter the same information multiple times, eliminating the hassle of data updates and information migration. This integration allows team members to be freed from repetitive tasks, potentially increasing the time to focus on important work and strategic tasks. Furthermore, when an issue is created in GitHub, it is automatically notified in Microsoft Teams, allowing for quick confirmation of task progress and challenges, and prompt necessary actions.

With no need for manual data management, task priorities and progress can be grasped at a glance, potentially increasing overall work efficiency. By reducing task duplication, the entire team can focus on important tasks, making it easier to achieve better results.

How to Create a Flow to Automate Data Extraction between Microsoft Teams and GitHub

From here, we will set up the integration flow between Microsoft Teams and GitHub using Yoom.
The flow this time is "Create an issue in GitHub when a message is posted on Microsoft Teams."

The overall flow is as follows. - Connect Yoom with Microsoft Teams and GitHub to My Apps - Copy the template - Set the flow details - Turn on the trigger This flow uses AI functionality to extract text data. AI operations can only be used with some paid plans. If your plan is not eligible, the operation of the flow bot you set will result in an error. Paid plans offer a two-week free trial, during which you can use restricted apps and AI features. Let's start with preparing the settings. [About Yoom] Step 1: Connect Microsoft Teams and GitHub to My Apps Let's connect the apps used this time with Yoom to My Apps. After logging into Yoom, click "+ New Connection" from "My Apps" in the left menu. When the app search window appears, search for each app name. Microsoft Teams My Apps Connection Log in with your Microsoft365 account. Once you enter your login information, the connection with Yoom will be completed. You will automatically return to the Yoom page, so proceed to connect GitHub. GitHub My Apps Connection Enter your GitHub login information. An authorization code will be sent to you, so enter it to connect. Once the connection is complete, it will be displayed in the My Apps list. This completes the My Apps connection. Next, proceed to the detailed flow settings, and click "Try it" from the banner below to copy the template. Step 2: Setting the App Trigger The initial setting is "When a message is sent to the channel." On the first page, the account information of Microsoft Teams that you connected to My Apps is reflected. You can change the title, so if necessary, modify it to something easy to understand, confirm the account information, and proceed to the next step. On the next page, set the trigger interval and Microsoft Teams channel settings. The trigger interval can be selected from 5 minutes to 60 minutes. Some intervals may not be selectable depending on the plan, so please be careful. Team ID and channel ID can be selected from the candidates. After selecting, send a test message to the specified channel and click "Test." If the test is successful, the output can be obtained. When the flow is activated, the values reflected in the output will change depending on the content of the message, and the content reflected in the GitHub issue will change. Once confirmed, click "Save" to complete the trigger settings. Step 3: Setting Data Extraction The next setting is "Extract data from text." Summarize the content posted in the Microsoft Teams chat and prepare to register it in GitHub. On the first page, select the conversion type. You can choose from 3,500 to 30,000 characters, so consider the content posted in the chat and proceed to the next step. Next, set the content of the data to be extracted. Target text: Message content obtained from Microsoft Teams settings Items to extract: Specify the title and content from the message If there are additional items to extract, enter them according to the specification. Once the settings are complete, click "Test." The test was successful, and the information obtained earlier was organized and reflected as output. Once confirmed, click "Save" to complete the data extraction settings. Step 4: Setting to Create an Issue in GitHub The final setting is "Create an Issue." On the first page, as with Microsoft Teams, modify the title and confirm the account information before proceeding to the next step. On the next page, set the details of the Issue to be registered. Owner name and repository name can be obtained from the individual page URL of each Issue. Set the title and comment by selecting from the output. The comment is set to {{content}}. Once the settings are complete, click "Test" to check if the Issue is registered in GitHub. The test was successful, and once the Issue registration and output acquisition in Yoom are confirmed, click "Save" to complete the settings. Finally, turn on the trigger to activate the flow. The flow set this time is as follows.
