Team chat
Set up Teams channels
Bring Microsoft Teams channel messages in as chat-log documents — the sync walks the connected account's teams and every channel becomes monthly documents, replies indented under their post. Personal and group chats are never read. Runs entirely on your company's OWN Entra app — no third-party app is ever granted anything. Read-only.
- Register the Entra app and mint the refresh token — the two headings below walk through both, once.
- Documents → Teams channels, enter the Application (client) ID and the refresh token; optionally list team names to sync only those.
- Choose access groups, Test, then Sync.
Channels are team-visible by definition — who may ASK about them here is controlled by the access groups you choose. Months already synced stay searchable when they scroll out of the sync window.
Your own Entra app
IT registers an app once: Entra admin center → App registrations → New registration, enable “Allow public client flows” under Authentication, and add the DELEGATED Microsoft Graph permissions ChannelMessage.Read.All, Channel.ReadBasic.All, Team.ReadBasic.All, User.Read and offline_access (grant admin consent). Copy the Application (client) ID into the source.
Minting the refresh token
Request a device code for the app with those scopes, sign in at microsoft.com/devicelogin as the member account, and paste the refresh token from the reply into the source. It rotates on every renewal and the source stores the fresh one automatically.
