Hello everyone, I’m exploring the possibility of connecting Teams to DataMiner so I can control some alarms. My idea is to have certain statuses and alarms sent as notifications to Teams groups. I installed the “DataMiner Chat Integration Example” add‑on, but I can’t get it to connect or work.
Does anyone know if this extension actually works, or if there’s a better way to integrate what I’m trying to achieve?
Thanks!
Hi Ruben,
Yes the example will work if you meet all the prerequisites.
See the Server-side prerequisites: Chat integration with Microsoft Teams | DataMiner Docs
See the Microsoft Teams prerequisites: Chat integration with Microsoft Teams | DataMiner Docs
-> The import part here is granting admin consent so that the DataMiner Teams app can send messages in your Teams environment. See Granting admin consent for Teams Chat Integration | DataMiner Docs
You should be able to see this in the Admin app when it's configured successfully:
In Teams you can install the DataMiner app and ask, by example, for alarms to verify it can connect in both directions (DM Teams App -> DMS , while Chat Integration is: DMS -> DM Teams App). See DataMiner Teams bot installation: DataMiner Teams bot | DataMiner Docs.
Let us know if and where you get stuck, and we'll help you to get it up and running.
Wkr, Jordy
Yes we can assist you with this. First make sure you have the Grant Admin consent configured. From then onwards the examples should work following the tutorials (see the readme https://github.com/SkylineCommunications/ChatOps-Extensions/tree/main/ChatIntegrationExamples ). With Chat Integration you can send messages in chats & channels, but not in groups. Send us an email at support.cloud.ecosystem@skyline.be to schedule an online meeting to get you started.
Thank you Jordi , i will ask to the admin and i will contact to that email.
regards.

Hi, yes, I already have that application installed in Teams and the extension in Data Miner. I managed to get them to communicate and request the information from the default prompts, but my idea was to create a workflow with this app so it can send certain alerts and statuses that I choose to a Teams group. Would it be possible for you to assist me with this at some point? Thanks, Jordi.
