I want to find if you can programmatically get calendar information out of MS Teams.
I was searching but didn't find any information, as with any documentation related to Microsoft you can't find anything useful.
So What I need any of:
some kind of WebHook, maybe that will run my script when new even is added to my calendar.
MS Teams call my script the meeting.
API that will allow exporting events from the calendar, so I can use a cron job to sync with the app I plan to create.
Basically, I was thinking about this tool ntfy. But I don't want to use MS Teams app for my phone if there is one, because I would like to have an app that will integrate with MS teams and Google Calendar. That I have to use at work. I'm a contractor for a software company that has a client that I'm working for. I need to use MS teams for a software company and Google Calendar for the client. Also, I can't log in with my work Google account, because it's blocked for the security of google drive (this at least was the error message). So my own Android app is the only way to have notifications on my phone (I need it because I sometimes forget about the meetings).
How I should create something like this? I only need general advice about integration with MS Teams. What API should I use? Will ask about Google Calendar in another question.
Note that I have zero knowledge about MS Teams, was searching for some developer documentation but was not able to find anything that can be useful for the thing I need.
I don't have any code yet, I'm investigating possibilities.
You could use so-called "graph api", the api Microsoft promotes to interact with anything related to Microsoft, including teams. There is simply a method to get all events for a team (i.e. group):

There is an online sandbox you could use to play with it:

I wonder if I can get working places for all users from organization using calendar API. Coworkers from my organization uses google calendar to mark if they work from home or office. I attach screen to show what I am talking about.
I've searched many endpoints from calendar API but did not find suitable one. Is it possible to get those information from API?
It is not yet possible to retrieve those information from the API.
But Google already documented it (tutorial, API reference) and it should come at some point in the (hopefully) near future.
Here is the related issue in their tracker : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/199918380
We've just published our first app in Google Workspace Marketplace (a google docs add-on) and can't figure out how, or if, it is possible to setup an email or other notification (slack notification would be cool) for our Customer Success team to be notified when a user leaves a review of the app.
Appreciate that if we get thousands we will probably turn the notifications off (or filter them in some way), at this early stage though, we're very eager to act on any feedback.
Thanks!

You can try Obsei: an open-source low-code AI powered automation tool.
It can monitor App and Play stores for customer reviews and send notification Slack when someone add review there. Also Obsei can classify review contextually to classify it into issue categories. Refer below image.Obsei workflow

Happy to answer any queries in this regards.
Can anyone offer guidance on how to call an external API from within MS Teams chat/posts initiated by an #mention or #hastag? The service I want to build would use the mention/hastag to call an API and return various types of meta data that would then be added to the chat, post, etc. Wondering if Flow or Yo Teams is the best way to go.
The best approach for this would be to create a bot, which gets a name that can be '#' mentioned (e.g. if you bot is called MyBot, you could mention #MyBot in a Teams channel, and it will get notified). Once it receives the notification, the bot can do anything you need it to do.
If you have development skills available (yourself or someone on your team), have a look at the Teams Bot development documentation to get started. If not, Power Virtual Agents could suit your needs (it's like a "drag and drop" bot creator.
I have been trying to publish my Skype bot to Microsoft Bot Directory, it has been almost two weeks and it is still in review.
My questions are:
Do they have a list of must haves for the bot so that they can only accept it if it fulfills these requirements? They didn't reject mine either but I will be prepared in advance in case they do.
If yes where can I find this info?
Has anyone here submitted their bot and how long did it take for them to be published?
Thank you
I submitted a few months ago and it is still not approved.
The bot directory is very selective and they won't approve you unless it's a full fledged mature application.
Plus, they also claim that their reviewing resources are very limited.
I'd say don't expect to get approved.
And no, they don't have any kind of requirements.
Here are a few items that might help with guidance:
MICROSOFT BOT FRAMEWORK– PREVIEW ONLINE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Bot review guidelines
Developer Code of Conduct for the Microsoft Bot Framework
It takes a few days (maybe a little longer) to get a response from a review. A couple items that caught me off guard were their logo requirements, which are very precise, and the welcome/help message needs to be complete. You also need to specify your Terms of Use and Privacy Policy well. Looking at these documents, there are probably several more items that are likely to trip-up submission.
I am about to build a simple webapp that has several tasks, each of which has got a due date.
I would like this webapp to automatically sync with Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar - 2-way integration would be a plus.
The webapp is built on a LAMP server.
What's the cleverest way I can go about this from a point of view of limiting the workload as much as possible?
And also, is that even possible? I wasn't able to find an API for Outlook or Apple Calendar.
Is CalDev the answer? Is there any product/software that will do that automatically, so that I need only to sync with it and it will do the rest?
Thanks.
You could do the following:
Synchronize your proprietary calendar with Google Calendar (make this your "master calendar") using the GCal API; if your application can produce a valid ICS file then you can import it directly to Google Calendar. As this feature is discontinued by Google you can use some online WebDAV based import/export service (I use for this Synqya)
Use the WebDAV access to the Google Calendar to synchronize Outlook and Apple Calendar with it using their calendar subscription features (this would be one way sync). If you need secured access to GCal and 2-way sync, it will involve further steps.
