Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is where your team communicates. But communication is not process.
When someone asks “can you approve this?” in a Teams message, there’s no assigned owner, no deadline, no escalation. If the message gets buried in a busy channel, the work doesn’t happen. Teams cannot track whether a request was completed or hold anyone accountable for it.
Teams Approvals (built on Power Automate) handles simple linear approvals, but cannot manage complex multi-step processes with conditional routing, parallel tasks, or cross-department coordination.
What Teams handles:
- Real-time messaging and channels
- Video meetings and calls
- File sharing via SharePoint
- Basic approvals via Power Automate
What falls through the cracks:
- Request tracking with clear ownership and deadlines
- Complex approval workflows spanning multiple departments
- SLA enforcement and automatic escalation
- Process visibility and completion metrics
- Conditional routing based on request type or data
- Audit trails for compliance requirements
Teams is where teams talk. Tallyfy is where work gets tracked and completed. The integration bridges conversation to action.
When a request is made in Teams, Tallyfy creates a structured workflow with assigned owners, deadlines, and escalation rules. Every step is tracked, and nothing gets lost in chat history.
Turn Teams messages into tracked work:
- Convert any message into a Tallyfy task with one click
- Launch structured workflows from slash commands
- Collect request details via forms before creating work
- Link Teams conversations to Tallyfy tasks for context
Complete workflows without leaving Teams:
- Receive task notifications in your activity feed
- Approve or reject requests directly from Teams
- Post workflow status updates to channels automatically
- Track progress across all your assigned work
Leverage Teams collaboration with structured workflows:
- New channel creation triggers project setup workflows
- Guest access triggers compliance and security reviews
- Document uploads trigger review and approval processes
- Meeting action items become tracked Tallyfy tasks
