Share Connections Content in Teams

It should be possible to better share content from CNX in Teams

Below I share the comment we received from HCL on this idea.


Now if you do have an app (and we do of course as long as the user has deployed it), then the app gets a signal to display an adaptive card. The app can do whatever it wants, including prompt the user to setup the app or login if needed. Now the app would then be responsible for deciding what is on the card, so it would have to know this is a community, gets its icon image, etc, but that is all technically possible with existing APIs. Here is a good article about it, called Link Unfurling:

So HCL cannot do it today, but technically they think it could be done if HCL makes updates to their Teams app.

So this is where the aha idea would be good to have a starting point.
