Hi @Vividminds Quixy!

When Zapier sends a message in MS Teams it’s as a bot rather than the person who’s account is connected to the channel and it’s not currently possible to change that, sorry. We do have a feature request open for the ability to change the name displayed when the message is sent (so it doesn’t look like a bot) and I’ve added you to that feature request. I don’t know when/if we’ll add that to the MS Teams integration but if we do, we’ll send you an email!

 

Thanks!
