To connect Microsoft Teams with Unblocked, you need to be on the Business or Enterprise Plan. You can view all the features of Unblocked’s plans on our pricing page.
When you connect Unblocked with your Microsoft Teams organization, you get the benefits of having context from Teams included in your team’s answers. You’ll also get a few extra, first-class features:
  1. Unblocked refreshes your team’s data index as your team has conversations about your codebase. This means that answers to questions will reflect all conversations in the Teams channels that you authorize Unblocked to access.
  2. Your team will be able to ask questions with the Unblocked bot. It will respond to questions in the channels it has been added to upon @-mentioning @Unblocked. You can also DM with Unblocked to ask questions privately.

​
Select channels to connect

You can add Unblocked to both public and private Teams channels. When a question is asked, Unblocked will respect the access permissions for private channels, and not include that context in answers provided outside the private channel.
You will be redirected back to Unblocked where you can select the Teams channels to use with Unblocked. Although you can add Unblocked to any channels you like, Unblocked can provide the most helpful context when you use it in channels where code-specific conversations happen.
If Data Shield is enabled for your team, all members will be required to connect their Microsoft accounts with Unblocked. Once connected, Unblocked will respect individual access permissions, meaning team members will only see the channels that they have access to.
