Otto Microsoft Teams

Keep Otto and Microsoft Teams updated automatically.

Today you sign in to the seller account, look at what sold and carry it over by hand. What you already processed you track somewhere else. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Otto lands in Microsoft Teams by itself, in the shape Microsoft Teams expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between Otto and Microsoft Teams, and how often.

  1. Notifications

    to Microsoft Teams automatically

    From this you get a short message in Microsoft Teams in the channel you choose, one line on what happened, so you see it at once without logging in anywhere.

Both sides

What each side expects

Otto and Microsoft Teams do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Otto

A marketplace supplies orders with their own order number and their own lines, plus returns and cancellations that arrive separately.

Microsoft Teams

A notification channel needs to know where the message goes, and only works when one line says what happened.

In four steps

  2. 02

    We agree what should travel

    We build and test

    You see the connector run on a few test records before anything becomes final.

Common questions

Can you connect Otto to Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Otto and Microsoft Teams, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Can I choose which events send me a Microsoft Teams message?

Yes. You decide which events from Otto produce a message, for instance a new order but not a stock change.

Which Microsoft Teams channel do the notifications land in?

The channel you choose. You can also send different kinds of notification to different channels, so it does not become one big stream.

Do I still have to log into Otto once the connector runs?

No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the Otto seller account arrives in Microsoft Teams by itself. You only open Otto when you want to check something yourself.

What does connecting Otto and Microsoft Teams cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does Otto sync with Microsoft Teams?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

Do I get one Microsoft Teams message per event or a summary?

By default it is one short message per event, one line on what is happening. If you would rather have a digest, we settle that when setting it up.

Does the connector also pick up Otto returns and cancellations?

Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on Otto, so Microsoft Teams does not lag behind what actually sold.

Missing something you need?
