Create tasks/time tracking from Microsoft Teams

With the integration, you can also work directly with awork within Microsoft Teams. You can use the following @-commands :

  • @awork add [task] - creates a new task in awork project

  • @awork comment [task]:[text] - Creates a comment to the entered task

  • @awork start [task/project] - Start time tracking on a task/project

  • @awork stop - Stop running time tracking

  • @awork help - Shows you all options for the awork Connectors

So, for example, just type @awork add Create design for logo in Teams, and the task Create design for logo will be created in the linked project, or as a private task if no project is linked.

Integrate awork as a website in Microsoft Teams

To display awork as a website in the Teams channel, simply click on the plus button in the tab bar. A pop-up will open where you can search for the website. Click on the website icon and enter a title for the tab in the pop-up that appears. Copy the link to the awork project from your browser and paste it into the URL line in the pop-up. After saving, log in to awork from the tab. awork is now available as a tab in the Teams channel.
