# SIA for Microsoft Teams

Post hiring updates directly into Teams — without copying anything across

Hiring updates need somewhere to land that people actually check. Connecting Microsoft Teams lets SIA post a direct message, a group chat, or a channel update straight into Teams, instead of you copying it out of chat and pasting it in yourself.

### Connecting Microsoft Teams

1. In Chat, open **Connectors** from the sidebar
2. Find the **Microsoft Teams** card and click **Connect Microsoft Teams**
3. A Microsoft sign-in tab opens — sign in with your Microsoft 365 account and approve the permissions listed
4. You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads **Connected**

### What you can do once connected

Once Microsoft Teams is connected, SIA can reach your colleagues directly inside Teams:

* **Send a direct message to a colleague** — give SIA their name or email and it resolves who that is and sends the message
* **Post to a channel** — in any team you belong to, so an update lands where the whole group already looks
* **Pick the right person, chat, team, or channel from a list** — rather than you having to type an exact matching name
* **Read recent messages in a chat or channel** — so SIA can catch you up on what's already been discussed before posting anything
* **Preview the message before it sends** — so you can ask for changes before anything goes out

### Try it in chat

* "DM Gautam on Teams that the candidate accepted the offer."
* "Post to the Hiring team's #interviews channel that the loop is complete."
* "Catch me up on what's been said in the Hiring team's #interviews channel."

{% hint style="warning" %}
Nothing gets sent without your approval. SIA shows you the drafted message and waits for you to confirm before it posts — the same way it works across all other connectors.
{% endhint %}

### Disconnecting Microsoft Teams

1. Go to **Connectors** in the sidebar
2. On the Microsoft Teams card, click **Disconnect**

This revokes the Teams authorisation only — your other Microsoft connections, if you have them, are unaffected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.senseloaf.ai/sia-chat/sia-for-microsoft-teams.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
