Pinning an app in Teams from a managed solution

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 101

Our organisation has a model-driven PowerApp that is accessible via the web. It is part of a managed solution whose deployment is performed via Pipelines.

 

I want to pin in it to the left sidebar in Teams for quick access by all users.

 

The only documented way to automatically pin an app seems to be by applying a policy in the Teams admin center. However, to add the app to the admin center, one has to upload it manually. This would appear to break (or at least not integrate with) the ALM process: further updates that are pushed to the production environment through Pipelines won't update the version in Teams.

 

Have I understood that correctly and is there any way to accomplish what I want?

    You don't upload the actual solution containing the app components. Rather it's an app manifest file specific for Microsoft Teams. Here's a blog post I wrote a couple of years ago on the process to get a model-driven app published into the Teams left rail: https://forwardforever.com/publish-model-driven-power-apps-to-microsoft-teams/
