Open-source component (message channel integration/plugin) O OpenClaw Core

Basic Information

  • Company/Brand: OpenClaw / OpenClaw Foundation
  • Country/Region: Global
  • Official Website: https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/msteams
  • Type: Open-source component (message channel integration/plugin)
  • Founded: Concurrent with OpenClaw

Product Description

The OpenClaw Microsoft Teams integration allows enterprise users to interact with OpenClaw AI agents through Microsoft Teams. Unlike some built-in channels, the Teams integration is provided as a plugin and is not bundled with the core installation, requiring separate installation.

Setting up the Teams integration involves creating a Bot in Azure, obtaining the App ID, Client Secret, and Tenant ID. Once configured, users can converse with OpenClaw via Teams DMs, group chats, or channels. The agent's responses are always routed back to the same channel where the message originated. Currently, text and DM attachments are fully supported, but sending files in channels/groups requires configuring sharePointSiteId and Graph permissions.

For enterprises using Microsoft 365 and Teams, this integration means that AI assistants can directly appear in team collaboration spaces. Users can invoke AI assistants to complete tasks within the Teams interface of their daily work without switching applications, thereby enhancing work efficiency.
