Native Channel Support for Genies — Microsoft Teams

Table of Contents

Genies can operate natively in Microsoft Teams channels, completing the channel story started with Slack. Deploy Genies for IT help desks, HR support, and project assistance directly inside the Teams channels where employees already work.

  • On-Mention Mode — Genies respond when @mentioned in a channel, configured independently per Genie across standard, private, and shared channels.
  • Native Teams Channel Picker — Channels surface as TeamName / ChannelName so builders can easily disambiguate channels with the same name across different Teams.
  • Authenticated Actions In-Channel — Workato Identity login uses a Teams-native button → modal flow via Adaptive Cards, ensuring the right person approves every action.
  • Full Thread Context & User Attribution — Genies see the entire thread, know who said what, handle files attached in-thread, and auto-summarize long threads for full context parity with DMs.
