# How To Integrate Affinity With Microsoft Teams
> Help center reference
**How-to** — task-oriented recipe.
Automate and expedite your workflows by integrating Affinity with Microsoft Teams.
## Getting started
1. Once you've checked the prerequisites in [Getting started with native integrations in Affinity](/s/article/Getting-started-with-native-integrations-in-Affinity) and enabled proper access to Microsoft Teams, click **Settings** on the left side of your screen.
2) Click on the **Integrations** tab, then click on **Microsoft Teams**.
3. If this is your first time, sign in with your Microsoft credentials to add a **New authentication**.
4) Name the new authentication, then click **Create**.
5. A pop-up will ask for consent to your Microsoft account — you may need to be a Microsoft/Azure admin to grant access.
* Below is an example of the Tray.io enterprise application and the permissions.

## Affinity Field Updates to a Teams Channel
**What this integration does**: For updates that you/your team members make to certain fields, they will be pushed to a specific Teams channel. This integration **may** require some additional guidance for steps 7 and 8 — please reach out to [support@affinity.co](mailto:support@affinity.co).
1. Within the **Affinity Field Updates to a Teams Channel** integration, click **Select**.
2) Click **Configure new solution**.
3. Authenticate your **Microsoft account**. You may come across a modal stating that you "Need Admin Approval" (see [Need Admin Approval or Approval Required](/s/article/Microsoft-Troubleshooting-Need-Admin-Approval-or-Approval-Required)).
4) Then, select your **Microsoft Teams group** and **channel**, then click **Next**.
5. Select which Affinity **field** and **field value** will be considered the trigger.
* For **Field**, the dropdown options will be in the format: **\[List Name] Field Name**.
* For **Field Value**, type out the field value(s) depending on what is available in the **Field**.
* Once you're done, click **Next**.
6) Add some additional filter conditions for increased specificity (optional). This requires you to know the field IDs of the Affinity fields that you're setting up the filter conditions for.
* You can use [Affinity's API](https://api-docs.affinity.co/) to receive the relevant field IDs.
* If you don't need additional filter conditions, you can skip this step.
7. Now, embed **fields** and **field values** as a custom message (optional). This requires you to know the field IDs of the Affinity fields that you're planning to include in your custom message.
* You can use [Affinity's API](https://api-docs.affinity.co/) to receive the relevant field IDs.
8) Click **Finish**, and you're all set.
## Affinity Notes from a List to a Teams Channel
**What this integration does**: For any notes that you/your team members add to the list entries within a specific list, they will be pushed into a specific Teams channel.
* If you select a **people-type** list: Notes added to the people in that list will get pushed into the Teams channel of your choice.
* If you select an **organization-type** list: Notes added to the organizations in that list will get pushed into the Teams channel of your choice.
* If you select an **opportunity-type** list: Notes added to the people and organizations associated with the opportunities in that list will get pushed into the Teams channel of your choice.
**Note**: For this integration, threaded replies within a note will **not** be sent as notifications to the designated Teams channel.
1. Within the **Affinity Notes from a List to a Teams Channel** integration, click **Select**.
2) Click **Configure new solution**.
3. Authenticate your **Microsoft account**. You may come across a modal stating that you "Need Admin Approval" (see [Need Admin Approval or Approval Required](/s/article/Microsoft-Troubleshooting-Need-Admin-Approval-or-Approval-Required)).
4) Then, select which **Affinity list** you will sync from, along with which **Microsoft Teams group** and **channel** you'd like to push the notes into.
5. Click **Finish** and you're all set. Now, any notes added to the list entries in that specific list will also be pushed to the designated Teams channel.
## Affinity All Notes into a Teams Channel
**What this integration does**: For all notes that you/your team members add to Affinity in general (including auto-generated notes if you have [Affinity Notetaker](/s/article/How-to-set-up-and-use-Affinity-Notetaker) enabled), they will be pushed into a specific Teams channel.
**Note**: For this integration, threaded replies within a note will also be sent as notifications to the designated Teams channel.

5. Click **Finish** and you're all set. All notes added to Affinity will now be pushed into the specific Teams channel as well.
## Affinity Organization Notes to a Teams Channel
**What this integration does**: For any notes that you/your team members add to a specific organization, they will be pushed into a specific Teams channel.
