With the Inactivity detection policy, you can set the amount of time without any user activity that should elapse before a team or group is deemed potentially inactive.
Once an entrusted group or team is flagged as potentially inactive, the app will send a notification to the owner(s).
Within that notification, an owner will be able to decide if he wants to archive, delete, or keep their inactive team or group.

Prerequisites
To send inactivity detection notifications, you need the following:
- Teams or groups that have been inactive past the amount of time you determined.
- The potentially inactive teams and groups are entrusted to owners.
- The inactive detection policy is enabled.
How to set your default Inactivity detection policy
The default policy is used for all your teams and groups without a purpose tag. To set your default policy, follow the steps below:
- Select the Setting tab.
- Select Policies from the menu.
- In the Lifecyle - Inactivity detection section, click on the number of days in the right corner.
- Enter the number of days after which a team or group should be deemed inactive in your environment.
- Select your preferred communication method between Microsoft Teams chatbot and email.
Note: When you select email, you can click on Customize email sent to owners to add a personalized message and Set Email Sender to change the incoming email address of your notifications. For more information, see Inactivity detection notifications.
How to set the Inactivity detection policy on your purpose tags
You can set an inactive threshold to detect if a team or group is inactive based on its purpose.
For example, a departmental group or team does not need its activity verified as often as a time-based project that could be archived as soon as the project is finished.
To set a different policy for your purposes, follow the steps below:
- Select the Settings tab.
- Select Categorization from the menu.
- In the Purpose tags section, set the number of days for Inactivity threshold.
