With the new Graph APIs, you can now automate:<\/h5>\n\n- Provisioning of large sets of teams<\/li>\n
- Automatically creating teams and channels (with business-specific logic)<\/li>\n
- Deployment of apps in team and channels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These collaboration tools include Microsoft Graph-enabled tabs or bots running inside Microsoft Teams apps. You can also call Microsoft Graph outside of a Microsoft Teams app, such as from a website or a web service. If you’ve already enabled your website for Microsoft Graph, you can use that work for Microsoft Teams by using the\u00a0Microsoft Teams developer platform<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0create a tab<\/a>\u00a0that uses the existing website code. For scenario examples, check out our TechCommunity blog<\/a>.<\/p>\nAutomate team lifecycles<\/h3>\n
Use Microsoft Graph to\u00a0create a new virtual team<\/a>\u00a0when a new business issue arises,\u00a0add the right people<\/a>\u00a0to the team, and configure the team with\u00a0channels<\/a>,\u00a0tabs<\/a>, and\u00a0apps<\/a>. If you want to get the new team together to discuss the business issue,\u00a0add a new event<\/a>\u00a0to the team calendar.<\/p>\n![\"automate](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2018\/11\/automate-team-lifecycles.png\")
<\/p>\n
When the business issue is resolved and you no longer need the team, use the Microsoft Teams API to\u00a0archive<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0delete<\/a>\u00a0the team. If you know the maximum duration of the team when you create it, set an\u00a0Office 365 group expiration policy<\/a>\u00a0for the team that automatically removes the team according to the policy.<\/p>\nGet work done even when no one is around<\/h5>\n
Use\u00a0application permissions<\/a>\u00a0to work with\u00a0teams<\/a>,\u00a0channels<\/a>,\u00a0tabs<\/a>, and\u00a0apps<\/a>\u00a0without human intervention. Create a new channel when your customer files an order. Automatically create teams for classes at the beginning of the school year and archive them at the end.<\/p>\nCreate teams linked to your app<\/h5>\n
Let customers to create new\u00a0teams<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0channels<\/a>.\u00a0Install<\/a>\u00a0your\u00a0Teams app<\/a>\u00a0in the new teams.\u00a0Pin your app to a tab<\/a>\u00a0in the new channel.\u00a0Send messages<\/a>\u00a0to the channel linking back to your website.<\/p>\nCreate and manage multiple teams and channels<\/h5>\n
Microsoft Graph makes it easy to create large numbers of teams and populate them with users and channels, by automate creating and managing\u00a0teams<\/a>,\u00a0channels<\/a>,\u00a0tabs<\/a>, and\u00a0apps<\/a>. Microsoft Graph also lets you\u00a0find<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0archive<\/a>\u00a0the teams you are no longer using. This is the same API that the\u00a0Microsoft Teams Admin Center<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Teams PowerShell commandlets<\/a>\u00a0are built on.<\/p>\nDeploy apps to teams<\/h5>\n
List the teams in your tenant<\/a>, and\u00a0install apps<\/a>\u00a0to them.\u00a0Create tabs<\/a>\u00a0in channels to give users easy access to apps.<\/p>\nMicrosoft Graph APIs can enhance apps inside and outside of Teams.
