An introduction to the ShareGate Apricot Teams bot

Our bot makes it easy to categorize your Office 365 Groups in collaboration with your Group owners in Microsoft Teams.

How it works

1. ShareGate Apricot detects a new Office 365 Group.
2. The app installs the bot on the owner's team account.
3. The bot asks what the new Group purpose is with a direct message to the owner in Teams. Group purposes are pre-defined in ShareGate Apricot.
4. The owner of the new group selects the group purpose and the bot sends it to ShareGate Apricot.
5. The group purpose is set for the new group in the app.
6. A reminder is sent to the owner after 7 days if the owner does not answer.
7. If a group has multiple owners, the group purpose will be set by the first owner that answers.

Note: Only owners of the Office 365 Groups or Teams are contacted. The owners will get a message from the ShareGate Apricot Teams bot within 30 minutes to an hour of detecting a new Office 365 Group.
