Private chat
An employee asks PaperThread in a private 1:1 Teams chat. PaperThread does not read Teams channels.
Microsoft Teams + PaperThread
Connect Microsoft Teams so people can ask PaperThread in a private 1:1 chat, and so nudges, approvals and reminders can be sent there.
How it integrates with Microsoft Teams.
Nudges and reminders
PaperThread sends a nudge to a blocker or a reminder, with a link back to the case.
Approvals
An approval message can include an action, using the same approval rules as Today.
Thread record
Sending a Teams message adds a Thread event for that notification.
How PaperThread puts that
context to work.
Read context
Use the private 1:1 chat and the Teams identity for that request.
Prepare actions
Draft the nudge, reminder or approval before it is sent.
Route work
Send the approval or nudge to the right person in a private Teams chat.
Update supported items
Post the private chat where permitted. Microsoft Teams does not update HRIS records.
Hand off to a person
If Teams identity is missing, fall back to email or the app and keep a person on the case.
Common questions, clear answers.
Answers for this connection, including what PaperThread can read and what still needs a person.
It lets an employee ask PaperThread in a private 1:1 chat, and it sends nudges, approvals and reminders there. The outcome is recorded in a Thread.
The private 1:1 chat tied to the request, and the Teams identity of the people involved. It does not read Teams channels or group chat history.
It can send a private chat for a reply, nudge, reminder or approval when Teams allows that post. Those messages do not change employee or payroll records.
A workspace admin connects Microsoft Teams so PaperThread can create a chat and send a message. Channel history is not read.
If the Teams identity is missing, PaperThread falls back to email or the app. If another system has to make the change, a person stays on the case and the Thread records the limit.
A workspace admin connects Microsoft Teams with Microsoft OAuth. People then ask, and receive nudges, approvals and reminders, in a private 1:1 chat.
