Microsoft Teams

The gap Teams cannot fill

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.
