2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in to Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option. You will be prompted to name your workflow; enter a descriptive name such as ‘Create a ChatGPT Chatbot for Microsoft Teams’. Select a folder for organization if desired.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• You will see two windows: Trigger and Action.
• Select Microsoft Teams as your trigger application.

The trigger event will be set to ‘New Channel Message’. This means that whenever a new message is received in your selected Microsoft Teams channel, it will initiate the workflow. Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Microsoft Teams account with Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring the Microsoft Teams Trigger

After connecting, you will need to specify the team and channel from which to receive messages. Select the appropriate team and channel from the dropdown list in Pabbly Connect. This is crucial for ensuring the right messages trigger the automation.

Once you have selected the team and channel, click the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This will check the connection and fetch the last message from the channel. Remember, Microsoft Teams has an 8-hour polling time, so responses may take some time to appear.

• Send a test message in Microsoft Teams to trigger the workflow.
• Make sure the message is relevant to the automation you are setting up.

Once the test message is sent, return to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to confirm that the message was received successfully.

4. Generating Replies Using ChatGPT

Next, you will set up ChatGPT to generate a response to the received message. Add an action step by selecting OpenAI in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ChatGPT and connect your OpenAI account.

After connecting, select the model you want to use, such as ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo. In the prompt section, enter a command like ‘Generate a reply for’ and map the message received from Microsoft Teams. This mapping ensures that the response is dynamic and based on the latest message.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate a reply. Check the response to ensure the reply generated is appropriate.

Once you have confirmed that ChatGPT generates a suitable reply, you can proceed to send this response back to Microsoft Teams.

5. Sending the Response Back to Microsoft Teams

To send the generated reply back to Microsoft Teams, add another action step in your workflow. Select Microsoft Teams again and choose the action event ‘Send Message in a Channel’. Ensure you are using the existing connection you established earlier with Pabbly Connect.

Select the same team and channel as before. In the message field, map the response generated by ChatGPT. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the message. You should see confirmation that the message was sent successfully.

Check Microsoft Teams to confirm the reply appears in the channel. Ensure the reply is accurate and responds to the original message.

With this, you have successfully automated the process of generating replies in Microsoft Teams using ChatGPT through Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

Integrating Microsoft Teams with ChatGPT using Pabbly Connect allows for efficient automation of responses to team messages. This setup can enhance communication and streamline workflows in any organization.
