Connecting Microsoft Teams lets people who aren’t Monnet users take part in your motions straight from Teams. Monnet messages them when a motion needs them, and their reply flows back into the motion automatically. It works the same way as the Slack integration — same access model, same member management. The differences are whose consent screen you land on and how members are identified.

​
What connecting Teams gives you

  • Member sync — people from your tenant can be brought into the Monnet workspace as Teams-only members.
  • Motion messages in chat — Monnet pings the right people in Teams when a motion needs their input, and their replies come back into the motion.
  • A path to full membership — a Teams-only member who follows a motion link and signs up becomes a full Monnet member.

​
Connect Teams

From your workspace, open Settings → Integrations. Under Microsoft Teams, click Connect. You’re redirected to Microsoft’s consent screen; after you approve, you’re brought back to Monnet. Each Microsoft tenant can be linked to one Monnet workspace at a time.
Approving the Microsoft consent screen is a tenant-level action. Depending on your organization’s settings, it may need a Microsoft 365 administrator.

​
Import and manage members

After connecting, manage who participates from Manage Teams members. Each person appears with:
  • Teams user — who they are in your tenant.
  • Function — defaults to their directory title and is editable here; whatever you set overrides the value shown in the Team tab.
  • Access — a per-user toggle. Turn it off and they lose Teams access and disappear from member dropdowns.
Whether members start with access depends on the auto-grant setting:
  • Auto-grant on: everyone in the tenant is granted by default; toggle off anyone you don’t want.
  • Auto-grant off: new people aren’t granted automatically — you toggle access on per person.
Changing it requires workspace admin or owner permissions.
Imported people join as Teams-only members. The import flow controls access and function, not workspace roles — set roles from the Team tab.

​
Taking part from Teams

Monnet writes to a person’s personal Teams chat. Replying there continues the conversation on the motion, and everything mirrors back into the web app. In a group chat or channel, Monnet waits to be invited: it engages when @mentioned and stays engaged for the next few messages. It won’t join every conversation it can see. See Talking with Monnet. When Monnet messages a Teams-only member about a motion, the message includes a link. Following it opens the motion, prompts them to sign up if they don’t have an account, and promotes them to a full member of the workspace. From then on they can use Monnet directly, in addition to Teams.

​
Troubleshooting

If you cancelled on Microsoft’s consent screen, click Connect again. If the link expired or returned an error, start over from Settings → Integrations — Monnet generates a fresh link each time.
Check that they appear in Manage Teams members with Access on. If they do and messages still don’t arrive, Monnet falls back to email — see Talking with Monnet.
Each Microsoft tenant connects to one Monnet workspace at a time. Disconnect it from the other workspace first, then reconnect here.
