Is it possible to add some code or something else to make it possible that whenever I type a hashtag followed by a number that this will be replaced by a url?
My requirement is whenever some developer mention a ticket number like #1234 in his chat post into a channel I want to make this clickable and directly opens a url like myticketsystem.com?id=1234.
If I understand correctly, you're looking to implement an auto-linking similar to how GitHub handles things like Fixes issue #xxxx? It isn't possible to implement this in Teams today, it isn't possible to inject your own logic into the composition rendering pipeline.
What you could do however is build a Compose Extension. This wouldn't replicate the GitHub experience but it would certainty make it easier to insert links to tickets into the compose editor. It could also be a more powerful tool, allowing users to search the ticketing system rather than having to know the number before writing the post.

I want to get all of my users to see announcements. As you already know, we can't force everyone to use a dashboard that would have the announcements located in it as outlined here: https://www.powerobjects.com/blog/2011/11/22/adding-announcements-to-the-dashboard-in-crm-2011/. I could add this component to the most frequently-used dashboards, but I'm not going to get complete compliance. Too many people use user-defined dashboards and views. Further, not all of our users use email or other correspondence consistently, so my channels of communication for updates to the system are limited. My best bet was to create a popup upon login containing announcements, akin to the "pending email" warning, which would appear upon login regardless of any other conditions:
I've dug around to try and see where that warning comes from, in hopes of reverse engineering it to build a new component... but I just couldn't figure it out. I've seen options on how to disable or circumvent it, which naturally is the opposite of what I'm trying to do.
Is something like this possible?
Unfortunately this is a missing most wanted piece/feature even today in latest 365 versions.
We are using Web resources in global dashboards to socialize such thing, as announcements are deprecated. We cannot circumvent personal dashboards as default scenario.
We are planning to explore Learning path for this requirement, but that’s not applicable for your version.
I need to add a custom element/mini-app/extension to CRM Dynamics sales such that it shows globally on all pages that the user navigates to and also can navigate the users urls when certain events happen.
What options exactly do I have to satisfy the above criteria?
The screenshot below shows a sample area that I need to build the app within as an example.
Id imagine there are many use cases where customizing a global element is worthwhile, especially since custom applications may need to be built.
I understand I can use the Resources to create a SPA such as angular which is running so long as the URL stays at the SPA url. But for our use case, we are looking to allow end users to be able to navigate the CRM using the custom controls. but when something happens in a another subsystem, we need end users who are logged into the CRM to instantly view data that is important to them.
Is this technically possible?
Unfortunately this is not feasible. There are some concepts to show learning path like that. It won’t satisfy your need.
I understand what you need, like a news feed or ad rotator for rolling content but context specific flyout area which is always pinned. There is no OOB option or customization/configuration available for achieving this. You can initiate this concept in Dynamics Ideas.
Like you said there can be a HTML web resource developed & embedded in a dashboard, this is very limited for your requirement.
Edit:
I think you are looking for Channel Integration Framework which will help you to configure third party CTI apps.
In CRM V9, they have introduced a new API call for 'Panel'. This panel loads to the side of the screen, and can display content regardless of where the user moves throughout the entire application. I've played around with it a bit for my own person reasons at work, but it looks to be exactly what you're looking for.
The call is 'Xrm.Panel.loadPanel(URL/WebResource)'
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/reference/xrm-panel
However, the feature is currently in development, and should only be used in production at your own risk.
I have a similar question to this one (for Pandas), in that I'd like to have the results of an SQL query appear nicely in a Slack message, as a table.
If for example I output the query results as Markdown and then paste this in Jira, a table appears exactly as I'd like it, regardless of whether column names are in snake_case. However, if I choose the Markdown (raw) code snippet in Slack, underscores are interpreted as beginning italics, which is completely wrong.
Does anyone have a better suggestion for displaying tabular results? Or forcing Markdown (raw) to ignore underscores? I tried code blocks as well but to no avail.
For info, the database IDE I'm using is DataGrip.
Slack does not have support for tables, like Jira. So your only option to to choose from workarounds. I see 3 available approaches:
1) Display in external browser
Store your data in an external web app and just post a link to Slack. That works very e.g. with Google Sheets if you use the Google Apps integrator in your Slack workspace.
2) Display as image
Another option is to generate an image (e.g. GIF) from your table and then post the image to Slack. That way the data can be displayed within Slack. To safe Slack storage space I would suggest storing the image file in an external image service (e.g. imgur) and then only post the link. Imgur has an API which would allow this process to be fully automated.
3) Display as plain text
Building upon one of the answers from the question you linked you can also convert your table into a plain text using a tool like Tabulate and then upload it as plain text snippet to Slack. That way the table could also be viewed within Slack. Note that the max size for snippet uploads is 1MB. Also, Slack will only show the first fews lines by default.
Doug here, creator of SQLBot.co. Tables are not supported in Slack, but you can get pretty close using ascii tables and code formating (three tick marks to begin and end)
Here's an example:
The only issue is that if your table gets too wide the text wraps.
Depending on how you're generating the output there may be good helpers. In the ruby world you can use the terminal-table gem or the text-table gem.
Since this comes up on a google search, and the site mentioned previously requires signup, thought I'd share what I found:

Just paste the output in Slack within a Code Block
I am currently developing a web application using Laravel and AngularJs. One of the requirement in document module is, that they want to create, update documents like Google Docs or Zoho Docs.
I googled but couldn't find a solution.
How can I implement it? It seems like that it is a big task.
It is a really big deal. There is an example flow how an implementation could work like:
keep track every change (for example keydowns) on client side
create a patch message
send the patch to a backend server
notify all of the other users that the content has been modified and send the patch to apply
apply the patch on the client
repeat each and every time something is changing
Of course the backend has to accept messages from all of the clients and distribute it to all of the other ones which has the same document open. Google Docs is working in a similar way you can check it in the developer tools of Chrome for example or check operational transformation.
Edit
Use the API of one of the mentioned services instead of building an own module. https://www.zoho.eu/docs/zoho-docs-api.html
For goole docs you could use the following with angular js:

I have data I provide on an http connection that's essentially message information.
I'd like to create an AddOn for Outlook that will consume/interface with that http service as if it were a mail source and display sender, recipient, subject, date etc and then be able to download the actual message and display it.
I envision this service being accessed either via a folder in the left-hand panel. (Uber feature would be if I could drag a message out of this service into the inbox!)
Unfortunately, I don't normally write code on the MS Stack -- I'm a linux guy. So I'm looking for either a follow-the-dots tutorial or an example of something similar. Failing that, I'll hire someone to write this so would love to know the specific skillsets I should be looking for when I contract someone to write it.
EDIT / Additional Thoughts
I have considered changing the web service (or at least creating a middle-man) that spoke IMAP, but only implemented a sub-set of commands (eg, there's no delete or create-folder or move)
One problem with that is that retrieving the actual message needs to be a different opperation (one that has a quota cost to the end user) so I can't just show the message. An option would be to show a "retrieve" button rather than the actual message (I found a great resource here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd542625.aspx for doing something like that) and then having that button do the retrieve and then reload itself. Maybe.
As Pekka says this could turn into a big project .. your description is pretty general and as you know the devil is in the detail ! but there are a number of options ..
you may be able to use Folder.WebViewURL Property of a folder that you have created in outlook and show your app via a web app (you can build that on any tech stack you like)
ok drag and drop may become a little tricky to do.
Outlook forms could also be used. A form can call out to your web service and display what you want. There is some info about form on SO but http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=35 is the best place.
Subclassing .. you can then create your own tree under the outlook tree and display whatever you want in the right hand pane such as grids forms etc. these can interact with the normal outlook folders and you can do your drag and drop though you woudl have to create Outlook Items to display them in the inbox. There is a tutorial on the technique http://www.codeproject.com/KB/office/additional_panel_Outlook.aspx though not doing exactly what you want but the technique is sound.
Next up build your own MAPI Message Store Provider which is probally the hardest thing to do on the list.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc842153.aspx
As I said your question is no functional spec and there are always many ways to skin the cat but 2 or 3 are probaly where you shoudl look at unless it simple enough just a display a web app.
