Create a workflow automatically in Microsoft Teams
Create a workflow automatically by describing what you want to do. The Workflow builder uses AI to suggest a flow that matches what you are trying to do.
To create a workflow automatically:
-
Hover over the channel you want to add a workflow to and select More options
-
Select Workflow builder.
-
Write a description of the tasks you want to automate. For example, "I want to send an email to the managers when the team finishes a sprint."
-
Workflow builder suggests a flow, including the apps, triggers, and actions you need. If you like the suggested workflow, select Next.
-
Sign in to any apps and enter any information the flow requires. Select Create flow.
-
To add a new step to the flow, select New step. Add the apps, triggers, or actions for the step. The Flow checker validates the step and highlights any errors.
-
To delete a step, select Menu
-
Select Done.
Workflow Builder provides several options for creating a flow automatically:
-
Select one of the three examples Workflow builder shows when you open the tool. To see additional flows, choose View more examples. Selecting this link presents three new examples that appear each time you select the link. Select Next.
-
To see a different version of the flow you've described, select Show a different suggestion. Select Next.
-
If you prefer to build your own workflow, select This isn’t what I’m looking for. You can choose a blank flow or custom templates.
