Using Teams in AI Chat

Once connected via OAuth, you can search and interact with Teams using natural language in Kasava’s AI chat:

​
Example Commands

  • “Find Teams messages about the Q4 roadmap”
  • “Search Teams for discussions about the API migration”
  • “Show me recent messages in the Engineering channel”
  • “Send a message to the Product Updates channel”
The AI assistant uses your synced Teams data to find relevant conversations and can send messages on your behalf.

​
AI Features

Kasava indexes synced Teams messages to enable semantic search:
  • Natural language queries - Ask questions in plain English
  • Cross-channel search - Find messages across all synced channels
  • Team filtering - Narrow results to specific teams

​
Context Building

Synced Teams messages provide context for AI features:
  • Include team discussions when generating documentation
  • Reference past decisions in planning documents
  • Build comprehensive project timelines from conversations

​
Permissions

Kasava requests the following Microsoft Graph permissions during OAuth:
PermissionPurpose
Team.ReadBasic.AllList teams you’re a member of
Channel.ReadBasic.AllList channels in your teams
ChannelMessage.Read.AllRead messages from channels
User.ReadAccess your basic profile information
ChannelMessage.SendSend messages on your behalf
Kasava only accesses teams and channels where you are a member. Admin consent may be required by your organization’s Microsoft 365 administrator.
Some organizations require admin consent for third-party applications. If you see an “Admin approval required” message:
  1. Contact your Microsoft 365 administrator
  2. Share the Kasava application ID for review
  3. Once approved, return to Kasava and try connecting again
If your organization has strict policies, the webhook connection method works without admin approval.

​
Disconnecting Microsoft Teams

To disconnect your Teams workspace:
  1. Go to Settings → Integrations
  2. Click on the Microsoft Teams integration
  3. Click Manage
  4. Click Disconnect in the settings
  5. Confirm the disconnection
Disconnecting Microsoft Teams will stop all message syncing and notification delivery. You may also want to remove the Kasava app from your Microsoft 365 account in your Microsoft account settings.

​
Troubleshooting

Your Microsoft 365 organization may require admin consent for third-party apps. Contact your IT administrator to approve Kasava, or use the webhook connection method which doesn’t require admin approval.
Verify that message syncing is enabled in your integration settings. Click Sync Now to trigger a manual sync. Note that syncing large workspaces may take several minutes.
Check that your webhook URL is correct and hasn’t expired. Teams webhooks can be disabled by workspace administrators. Try creating a new webhook if the current one isn’t working.
Kasava can only access teams and channels where you are a member. For private channels, ensure you’ve been added as a member.
Microsoft OAuth tokens expire periodically. Click the integration card and click Refresh Token to renew your connection. If that fails, disconnect and reconnect the integration.
This typically means the required Microsoft Graph permissions weren’t granted during OAuth. Try disconnecting and reconnecting, ensuring you accept all requested permissions.

​
Security

  • All OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest
  • Webhook URLs are stored securely and never exposed in logs
  • You can revoke Kasava’s access anytime from your Microsoft account settings
  • Kasava uses Microsoft’s OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for enhanced security
  • Data is transmitted over HTTPS only
