Easily connect Leadinfo to your Microsoft Teams environment
Please note: Microsoft is currently facing issues with the latest Microsoft Teams version, affecting the integration of apps like Leadinfo. If you're on the latest version, switch to the older one to set up Leadinfo in Teams. After setup, you can revert to the latest Teams version. In addition, the Microsoft Teams integration is currently only working if you have 2-factor authentication within Leadinfo turned off.
Quickly share leads from Leadinfo with your colleagues in Teams by connecting your Microsoft Teams account. Once you have connected your Teams account, you can easily share a lead with a certain channel in Teams, or send it directly in a chat.

How do I automatically share leads to channels or users?
Step 1: Think about what companies you want to send to Teams. You can use these questions to get a clear view on what companies are interesting for you.
- What company characteristics does an interesting company have?
Do you focus on specific branches or specific sizes? - What kind of behaviour do they need to show?
Think about the number of pages, or what pages an interesting company needs to visit.
Step 2: Based on the questions in step 1 you can start setting up your trigger. Navigate to “Triggers” and create a new trigger.
Step 3: Determine the rules a company needs to meet in order to be sent over to Teams. In the example below we only want to send over companies from the UK, with more than 5 employees and who have visited our pricing page.
Step 4: Under “Action” select Teams and determine what you want to do:
- In what group or to which users you want to send the message to
- In what language you want to send the message
- How often you'd like to send the message per unique company
Step 5: Make sure you save the trigger by switching the toggle in the top right corner and click “Save”.
