Connect Risotto to MS Teams

Connect Risotto to your Microsoft Teams environment and deploy the official Risotto app so it’s available to everyone in your organization.
Unlike Slack, Risotto uses an official Microsoft Teams app. There is no custom or self-hosted app to build.
Before you begin, make sure you have:

​
Connect Microsoft Teams in Risotto

1

Open Settings

In the Risotto dashboard (dashboard.tryrisotto.com), open Settings.
2

Select Integrations

Go to Integrations -> All and find Microsoft Teams under the Chat section.
3

Connect Microsoft Teams

Click Connect beside Microsoft Teams. You’ll be forwarded to a Microsoft consent screen. Make sure you’re logged in as a user with admin privileges.
4

Consent to the requested permissions

Review and accept the requested permission scopes. Granting consent gives Risotto everything it needs to operate in your Microsoft Teams instance.

​
Install and deploy the app

1

Open the Teams admin center

Go to admin.teams.microsoft.com and sign in with an admin account.
2

Go to Apps

Navigate to Teams apps → Manage apps in the admin center.
3

Install the Risotto app

Find the Risotto app and install it.
4

Deploy the app for everyone

Deploy the Risotto app so it’s available to all users across your organization.
5

Wait for the app to propagate

Allow about 5 minutes for the app to become available across Microsoft Teams before continuing.
Microsoft Teams can take a few minutes to make a newly deployed app available. If the Risotto app doesn’t appear yet, wait a few minutes and refresh before continuing.

​
Next Steps

Once the app is deployed and available, continue to Microsoft Teams Channel Setup to add the Risotto bot to your team and start handling requests.
