Microsoft Teams connector

The Microsoft Teams connector enables Workplace AI to search messages and browse teams, channels, and chats in Microsoft Teams using the Microsoft Graph API.

You can create connectors in Stack Management > Connectors.

Microsoft Teams connectors have the following configuration properties:

Microsoft API token
A Microsoft bearer token obtained through the delegated OAuth flow (for example, a user access token). Provides access to the authenticated user's teams, channels, chats, and messages.
Client ID
The Application (client) ID of your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) application registration.
Client secret
The client secret generated for your Azure AD application.
Tenant ID
Your Azure AD tenant ID. Used to construct the token endpoint: https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/token.

You can test connectors while creating or editing them in Kibana. The test verifies connectivity by listing the authenticated user's joined teams when using delegated auth, or all teams in the tenant when using app-only auth.

The Microsoft Teams connector has the following actions:

List joined teams

Returns the authenticated user's joined teams when using delegated auth, or the specified user's joined teams when userId is provided for app-only auth.

  • userId (optional): User ID for app-only auth through client credentials. Omit when using delegated auth (bearer token).
List channels

Returns channels for the specified team.

  • teamId (required): The ID of the team.
List channel messages

Returns messages in a channel.

  • teamId (required): The ID of the team.
  • channelId (required): The ID of the channel.
  • top (optional): Number of messages to return, up to 50.
List chats

Returns chats for the authenticated user.

  • userId (optional): User ID for app-only auth through client credentials.
  • top (optional): Number of chats to return, up to 50.
List chat messages

Returns messages in a chat.

  • chatId (required): The ID of the chat.
  • top (optional): Number of messages to return, up to 50.
Search messages

Searches for messages across Teams and chats using the Microsoft Graph Search API. It supports KQL syntax.

  • query (required): Search query string (for example, from:alice sent>2024-01-01).
  • from (optional): Offset for pagination.
  • size (optional): Number of results to return, up to 25.
  • enableTopResults (optional): Sort results by relevance.

Use the Action configuration settings to customize connector networking, such as proxies, certificates, or TLS settings. If you use xpack.actions.allowedHosts, add graph.microsoft.com and login.microsoftonline.com to the list.

To use the Microsoft Teams connector, you need a Microsoft Azure AD application with the required Graph API permissions.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal. Select Azure Active Directory → App registrations.
  2. Create a new application registration.
  3. Under API permissions, add the following Delegated permissions for Microsoft Graph:
    • Team.ReadBasic.All — List joined teams and channels
    • Chat.Read — Read chat messages
    • ChannelMessage.Read.All — Read channel messages
    • Chat.ReadBasic — List chats
  4. Obtain a user access token through the OAuth delegated flow (for example, Authorization Code flow).
  5. In the Microsoft API token field, enter your user access token.
  1. Sign in to the Azure portal. Select Azure Active Directory → App registrations.
  2. Create a new application registration.
  3. Under API permissions, add the following Application permissions for Microsoft Graph:
    • Team.ReadBasic.All — List all teams in the tenant
    • Channel.ReadBasic.All — List channels
    • ChannelMessage.Read.All — Read channel messages
    • Chat.Read.All — Read all chats and messages
  4. Grant admin consent for the permissions.
  5. Under Certificates & secrets, create a new client secret. <!-- TODO: Add support for certificate auth -->
  6. Copy the Application (client) ID, client secret value, and tenant ID. In the connector configuration, enter these values.
