Microsoft Teams App Studio’s Control Library

If you’ve tried out our new Microsoft Teams App Studio you’ve probably noticed the “Control library” tab. We developed this library based on feedback from our developer community to simplify the design and development process. Each time we created a new tab we found ourselves copying the same CSS code repeatedly — as you can imagine there were several issues. To resolve these issues, we built a library for common UI elements used in Teams. Using this library will enable your tab to stay consistent with the Teams look and feel.

Exploring Kaizala WebHooks

Webhooks allow you to build or integrate applications which subscribe to certain events on Kaizala. When one of those events is triggered, Kaizala service would send a HTTPS POST payload to the webhook’s configured URL. Webhooks can be used to listen to content being posted on the group and use that information to update your database, trigger workflows in your internal systems, etc. You could also do the reverse, wherein post content on Kaizala based on an internal event in your system using the Kaizala APIs.
