Microsoft Teams Integration with Mesh

We've simplified essential Mesh-related tasks for users of internal communication platforms such as MS Teams. This integration empowers users to seamlessly manage their Mesh activities directly within these tools, enhancing productivity and collaboration.

Mesh not only pushes updates and notifications such as

• ✍️ Any pending reviews or nominations
• 🎯 Updates on goals
• 📆 Upcoming 1:1s
• And much more

But also allows users to perform several critical actions from within the MS Teams mobile app, desktop app, or browser app. These include - 

• Edit and check-in to goals
• Schedule and conduct manager 1:1s
• And much more

This article covers steps to start using the Mesh-MS Teams integration, and how to customise your (and your organisation's) notification settings for MS Teams

Adding the MS Teams integration (for admins)

Step 1: Navigate to MS Teams sub-page in Mesh plugins settings (Mesh → Settings → Plugins → MS Teams) and click 'Install'

Step 2: Inside Microsoft Teams, navigate to the 'Manage apps' section (Teams apps → Manage apps) from the side panel

Search for Mesh in the search box

Step 3: Toggle the button to "Allowed" in the screen that appears

This enables the Mesh app for use by your organisation's MS Teams users.

Customising notification settings for MS Teams

Step 1: Return to your Mesh settings panel and select "Notifications."

Make sure that notifications for 'Third-party chat applications' are enabled.

Step 2: In the section labeled ‘What you get notified about,’ toggle notifications according to your preferences.

You can customise module-specific or platform wide-notifications. Additionally, a Mesh admin can also choose to set any settings as default settings for their organisation and for all its members.
