Microsoft Teams

Receive Rep.ai notifications in any Teams channel and create a Microsoft Teams meetings.

Organization integration

Rep.ai integration with Teams will post messages to channels you specify each time a visitor requests help, triggers an alert, or books a meeting. Messages will include quick links to view the visitor's session or start a call.

Setting Up Incoming Webhooks

Rep.ai uses the webhooks to send messages to a Teams channel. You will first need to set up Workflows for each channel you want to receive notifications in. There are 4 types of notifications (dials, alerts, meetings, chats) and you can set a separate channel for each, or use the same channel for all of them. If you want to set up advanced rule-based message routing, check the Notification Routing section below.

1. Navigate to the Channel: Choose the channel where you want to add the incoming webhook and select 'More Options' (⋯) from the top-right corner of the screen.

2. Select 'Workflows': In the drop-down menu, select 'Workflows'.

3. Choose the right Workflow: Scroll through the list of workflows until you find 'Post to a channel when a webhook request is received', and click it.

4. Name Your Workflow: Enter a name for the workflow, you could use "Rep.ai" for clarity.

5. Create the Workflow: Click 'Next' and 'Add workflow' on the consecutive page.

6. Finish Setup: Copy the Workflow URL and click 'Done'.

For more detailed instructions, refer to the comprehensive guide provided by Microsoft at Create incoming webhooks with Workflows for Microsoft Teams.

Installing the Teams Integration

Go to the integrations page in your Rep.ai settings, find the Teams card, and click the toggle to enable it. You will be prompted to input the Workflow URLs for each notification type. You may use the same Workflow URL for multiple notifications. For example, if you wanted all notifications to go to the same channel you would paste in the same Workflow url for all four.

Notification Routing

Rep.ai allows you to set up rule-based notification routing by creating a Routing Rule automation. With the Routing Rule, you can define a set of conditions that are checked against every visitor on your website. If the conditions are met, the notification is routed to the users and channels you have specified.

Hosted Events

Rep.ai's integration with Microsoft Teams adds the ability to create events hosted using Microsoft Teams in the Scheduler. Events will automatically create a Microsoft Teams meeting linked to the event and email out the required information to join the event.

Make sure your MS365 license covers Microsoft Teams. Otherwise, it won't be possible to properly integrate Microsft Teams and Rep.ai's Scheduler.
