Dataverse for Teams Add App to Teams App Store

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 716

Hello Power App Community,

Can you please help?
We have created a Canvas App in Dataverse for Teams. 

We want to automatically pin it to the left-hand rail in Teams, so this will avoid users following the below process to get the app installed:

  • Open Microsoft Teams
  • click Apps
  • Click Built with Power Platform
  • Find the app
  • Click Add
  • Then when the app appears on the left-hand rail right clicking and pinning the app

We just want users to open Microsoft Teams and see the Canvas App automatically installed.


I have 2 questions please.

 

  1. Does anyone know of any documentation on how to get the Canvas App automatically added onto a user's rail in Team?
  2. And if so, how does this handle updates? What I mean by this is, if we make a change to the Canvas App, if we were viewing it in a Microsoft Teams team, such as pinned to a tab, we'd see the updates in the Canvas App. But how does this work when it's been uploaded as a Teams app? How do the updates show?

Any help would be greatly appreciate. 

Thanks very much,

Garry

    To utilize custom apps in your Teams tenant, you have to go to your Teams Tenant Admin Portal and enable custom apps in your App Setup Policies. If you don't see the option then that means this setting is turned off and you need to enable it. Activating this setting can take up to 24 hours to take effect. Here's a link on how to do that: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/micr...
