Dedicated Microsoft Teams App

A dedicated Microsoft Teams App gives each conversational agent its own channel in Teams, providing a context-aware experience separate from the shared UiPath Autopilot Teams App.

Using a dedicated Teams App offers the following advantages:

  • Persistent context — Each agent maintains its own chat history. Switching between agents no longer resets your conversation.
  • Reduced friction — Access your agents directly from the Teams sidebar without using the Switch Agent command.
  • Concurrent conversations — Run multiple agents simultaneously without overlap or confusion.

Prerequisites

  • The conversational agent must be published and deployed to Orchestrator.
  • You must have permission to upload custom apps in Microsoft Teams.

Create a dedicated Teams App

Create and deploy a dedicated Teams App for a specific conversational agent.

  1. Go to Agents > Instance Management and open your conversational agent's management page.

  2. Select the Channels tab.

  3. Select Create a Teams App and configure the following options:

    Note:

    The app name is set automatically from your agent name. Teams app names cannot exceed 42 characters, so longer agent names are automatically truncated.

    Note:

    UiPath provisions an Azure Bot resource in the background. Provisioning takes approximately 3–5 minutes.

  4. When provisioning is complete, select Download to save the Teams manifest ZIP file.

  5. Upload the manifest to your Microsoft Teams environment. For instructions, see Upload an app in Microsoft Teams.

The dedicated Teams App is available in Microsoft Teams. Users can access the agent directly from the Teams sidebar.
