teams-connect

name	teams-connect
description	Set up Microsoft Teams as a notification channel for your Egregore — registers an Azure bot, uploads the app, and binds a channel. Use for /teams-connect, 'connect teams', or 'set up teams notifications'.

Set up Microsoft Teams as a notification channel for your Egregore.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (none expected)

When to invoke

Trigger phrases:

• "set up teams", "connect teams", "teams-connect", "microsoft teams"
• "add teams notifications", "teams channel", "notify us on teams"

Disambiguation:

• "set up telegram" → /telegram-connect
• "send a message to teams" → NOT this — use the separate notification consent protocol in .claude/context/notification-consent.md

What this does

Registers a bot in the org's own Microsoft tenant, installs it in their Teams, and binds one channel to Egregore notifications. After this, everything that plans a group notification may also resolve Teams as a receiving channel; all resolved channels are shown before separate dispatch approval.

You (the agent) run all the Azure work via az after one browser login. The human does exactly three things: one login, two portal clicks, one paste.

OSS tier — visible, gated, honest

This skill ships to every Egregore, but Teams notifications run on the Connected tier. Before anything else, detect the tier:

MODE=$(jq -r '.mode // empty' egregore.json 2>/dev/null)
API_URL=$(jq -r '.api_url // empty' egregore.json 2>/dev/null)

The tier predicate is exactly the canonical _detect_mode truth table (bin/lib/config.sh): the instance is on the local (OSS) tier when MODE is local or API_URL is empty. (A hand-set mode: "connected" without an api_url is still local — never treat it as an unlock.)

On the local tier, deliver exactly this message, then the question — do not paraphrase the message:

You can expand your knowledge base with connections to Notion, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and many more. Upgrade to Connected Tier to accelerate.

AskUserQuestion:

• Upgrade to Connected Tier — tell them the one sanctioned path: run egregore connect in a terminal (the launcher walks the whole upgrade: registers your org with the platform, provisions the key, replays your graph). Teams notifications unlock once Connect is active.
• Not now — respect it and stop. Do not improvise config edits, api_url values, or partial flows.

Only continue past this section on a connected instance.

Step 0: Prerequisites (check before touching anything)

Ask, or verify where possible. All three must be true:

1. A Microsoft 365 tenant with Teams (work tenant, not personal Teams).
2. The person here is admin of that tenant (Entra + Teams admin center).
3. An Azure subscription in that tenant — the bot resource is free (F0) but must live in a subscription.

az CLI must be installed: which az — if missing, brew install azure-cli (macOS) or point at https://aka.ms/azure-cli for their OS.

Step 1: Login (human, ~1 min)

Ask them to run in the prompt:

! az login

Then verify tenant + user:

az account show --query "{tenant:tenantId, user:user.name, state:state}" -o json

Verify Teams is actually licensed (the #1 silent dead-end — an Azure-only tenant has no Teams and the Teams admin center errors with a cryptic "can't find the tenant region for …" / PLS message):

az rest --method get --url "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscribedSkus" \
  --query "value[].skuPartNumber" -o json

• [] or no Teams-bearing SKU → they need a license first. Guide: M365 admin center → Marketplace → Microsoft 365 Business Basic (Trial). EEA trap: every SKU marked "(no Teams)" literally excludes Teams (EU unbundling) — pick the plain variant, or add "Microsoft Teams EEA" separately. After purchase, assign the license (set usageLocation on the user first — assignLicense fails without it, and racing the two calls fails too: PATCH usageLocation, then assign in a separate call).
• Graph 403 AADSTS530035 (security defaults) → az logout && az login fresh.

Step 2: Azure infrastructure (agent, ~2 min)

Run these; capture every id/secret as you go:

# 1. App registration (single-tenant — deliberate; Microsoft is deprecating new multi-tenant bots)
az ad app create --display-name "Egregore Notifications" --sign-in-audience AzureADMyOrg \
  --query "{appId:appId}" -o json

# 2. Client secret (2 years)
az ad app credential reset --id <APP_ID> --display-name "teams-notify" --years 2 -o json

# 3. Service principal — az ad app create does NOT make one; skipping this
#    yields token 401 AADSTS7000229 later
az ad sp create --id <APP_ID>

# 4. Resource group + free Azure Bot + Teams channel
az group create -n egregore-bots -l <their-region, e.g. westeurope>
az bot create --resource-group egregore-bots --name egregore-notifications \
  --app-type SingleTenant --appid <APP_ID> --tenant-id <TENANT_ID> --sku F0
az bot msteams create --name egregore-notifications --resource-group egregore-bots

Save to the instance .env (gitignored — never commit):

TEAMS_APP_ID=…
TEAMS_APP_SECRET=…
TEAMS_TENANT_ID=…

Smoke the token before proceeding (catches AADSTS7000229 immediately):

curl -sS -X POST "https://login.microsoftonline.com/<TENANT_ID>/oauth2/v2.0/token" \
  -d grant_type=client_credentials -d "client_id=<APP_ID>" \
  -d "client_secret=<SECRET>" -d "scope=https://api.botframework.com/.default"

Step 3: App package + catalog upload (human, 2 clicks)

Build and reveal the zip:

bash teams-app/build-package.sh <APP_ID> && open teams-app/build/

(If this instance doesn't carry teams-app/, fetch it from the framework repo.)

Guide them: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/manage-apps → Actions → Upload new app → pick egregore-teams-app.zip.

Traps:

• Fresh tenants show "setting up your new app management experience… up to 30 minutes" with the upload button greyed out. It's provisioning — wait, refresh.
• Re-uploading the same app id via "Upload new app" is rejected — updates go through the app's detail page → Upload file to update.

Step 4: Add the bot to the team (human, 1 click)

In Teams — the work account (trap: the desktop app may silently be the consumer client — "Build your community" UI, no org catalog; use teams.microsoft.com if in doubt): Apps → Built for your org → Egregore → ▾ → Add to a team → pick the channel → Set up a bot.

Without this, sends fail 403 BotNotInConversationRoster.

Step 5: Channel binding (human pastes, agent decodes)

Ask for the channel link (channel → ⋯ → Get link to channel), then decode:

python3 -c "import sys,urllib.parse,re; m=re.search(r'(19%3a[^/?]+|19:[^/?]+)', sys.argv[1]); print(urllib.parse.unquote(m.group(1)))" "<PASTED_LINK>"

Result must look like 19:…@thread.tacv2.

Step 6: Persist

API_URL=$(jq -r '.api_url' egregore.json)
KEY=$(grep '^EGREGORE_API_KEY=' .env | cut -d= -f2-)
curl -sS -X POST "$API_URL/api/org/teams" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"conversation_id":"<CONV_ID>","app_id":"<APP_ID>","app_secret":"<SECRET>","tenant_id":"<TENANT_ID>"}'

Expect {"status":"connected", …}. The per-org creds matter: a single-tenant bot only works in its home tenant, so each org brings its own registration.

Non-default region: their bot's service URL may differ from the EMEA default — pass "service_url" too (Azure portal → the bot → Channels → Teams shows it).

Step 7: Verify with separate exact notification consent

Follow .claude/context/notification-consent.md. Connecting Teams is not consent to send a test message. Prepare after configuration is final:

PLAN_JSON=$(bash bin/notify.sh plan group "Teams channel connected — this message reached you through Egregore.")

Show every resolved receiving channel—potentially both Telegram and Teams—and the exact message in a dedicated Send / Edit / Cancel checkpoint. Only dispatch after Send is selected for that preview. Card avatar may show a generic icon for a few hours (Teams caches app icons) — cosmetic, self-heals.

Troubleshooting quick table

Symptom	Cause → fix
"can't find the tenant region" (PLS) in Teams admin center	No M365/Teams license on the tenant → Step 1 licensing
Token 401 AADSTS7000229	Missing service principal → az ad sp create --id <APP_ID>
Send 403 BotNotInConversationRoster	Bot not added to the team → Step 4
Send 404	Wrong conversation id or wrong service_url region
"already an app with the same app ID" on upload	Use the app detail page → Upload file to update
No Apps rail / no org catalog in Teams	Consumer Teams client → work account at teams.microsoft.com
Upload button greyed out	Tenant still provisioning app management (≤30 min)
