Connectors

Rapid Assist App Template is using the following connectors:

  • SharePoint to save and read data from a SharePoint list.
  • Office 365 Users to read the user's profile information.
  • Microsoft Teams to get channel Id of the selected team.
  • Power Automate flows to send proactive adaptive card notifications to Microsoft Teams and create an Outlook calendar reservation for the user once an access request is approved.

There are two types of user roles for the underlying SharePoint site:

  • App Owners: App owners will create the SharePoint list and provide appropriate access to users.
  • App Members: All users who use the app will be app members and be able to perform read/write operations on the SharePoint lists.
