How to Connect OpenClaw to Microsoft Teams

Advanced2-4 hoursUpdated 2025-01-12

Microsoft Teams integration requires navigating Azure Bot Service, Bot Framework, and Teams app manifests. This advanced guide walks you through registering an Azure Bot, creating a Teams app package, configuring OpenClaw for Bot Framework compliance, and deploying a production-ready Teams bot.

Why This Is Hard to Do Yourself

These are the common pitfalls that trip people up.

โ˜๏ธ

Azure Bot Service setup

Teams requires an Azure Bot registration, app service deployment, and Bot Framework authentication before your bot can send a single message

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Teams app manifest complexity

The manifest.json file has strict schema requirements, icon dimensions, and capability declarations. One error blocks the entire install.

๐Ÿ”

Bot Framework authentication

Teams uses Microsoft Identity for bot authentication. Token validation, tenant ID verification, and audience claims must all be correct.

๐ŸŽฏ

Activity types and attachments

Teams uses Bot Framework's activity schema with unique message types, adaptive cards, and attachment formats that differ from other platforms

๐Ÿ“‹

Admin approval requirements

Enterprise Teams tenants often require admin approval before users can install third-party apps
