The ipushpull Microsoft Teams bot lets you pull snapshots of your data into Teams chats and channels (to view live and streaming data in Teams use the ipushpull tab app).
This article explains how to use the ipushpull chat bot in your 'personal app' - your private ipushpull workspace inside Teams. You can also also add the bot to other Teams chats and channels - see this page for more details.
The ipushpull Teams bot lets you:
pull snapshots of data into the chat
search for pages
ask for help
login and logout of ipushpull
Coming soon: set up aliases to pull views of your data into the chat and push data back. Get in touch for a preview.
If you have configured a default page, you can pull it into the chat by simply entering the pull command:
To pull any other page into the chat, enter its folder and page name in this format:
folder=MyFolder page=MyPage
Pro tip: if your page name is unique, you don’t have to mention the folder name in your request |
If you can’t remember the name of your page, use the search command with an optional search term. This will return a dropdown list of all the pages you have access to that match the term. Select the page you want and click the Pull button to view in the chat.
If you don’t enter a search term then search will return a list of all the pages you have access to.
You must authenticate the bot with ipushpull to access your data in Teams. Enter the login command to do this, then follow the instructions.
If you want to de-authenticate the bot, enter the logout command.
Type help for more info about each command:
Teams imposes a message limit that means the bot sometimes can’t return all your data into the chat. If this happens the bot will display a message with a link you can click to view the complete results in the ipushpull web app.
You can pin your ipushpull personal app to the left hand toolbar for quick access. Right-click on the app and select Pin to do this.
You can also pin your chat with ipushpull to the top of your list of chats. Right click on the chat and select Pin.
