Integrate Microsoft Teams with BrowserStack Automate

A step-by-step guide to help you integrate Microsoft Teams with BrowserStack and learn about your team’s build activity and test summary.

Microsoft Teams is a collaboration tool that lets your team work collaboratively and stay connected. It provides multiple features such as 1:1 chats, meeting rooms, custom channels, and so on.

BrowserStack for Microsoft teams encourages you to remain updated with test execution status as it occurs on the Automate dashboard. It also lets you subscribe and receive a daily test summary in your chat and analyze the health of your test suite.

Apart from these features, you can also interact with the bot in your personal chat to get a list of failed tests as they happen on the dashboard, subscribe/unsubscribe to the daily test summary, and so on.

In this guide, you will learn:

• How to add the BrowserStack bot to Microsoft Teams
• How to use the supported bot commands
