MS Teams apps - trouble with account connection


I am having this issue as well for a new MS Team connection.  I cannot load the “Team” despite having the account connection set up WITHIN MS teams and connected back to Zapier. The full error message is:

We’re having trouble loading 'Team' data

An owner must install the Zapier app from the Teams store in your team to use this feature. Then reconnect your Microsoft account in Zapier.

If I go into the MS Team itself it will tell me the Zapier app/bot is installed.

Thanks!

If you’ve installed the Zapier app but are still seeing Requires Zapier app to be installed next to the Team in the dropdown menu...

Microsoft

Please Read This

The Zapier app must be installed within the Team you want to access in Zapier. Makes sense, but it's much more confusing than it may seem and Microsoft  doesn't necessarily indicate whether this has been done properly. 

NOTE: These instructions were originally compiled in November of 2020, and should be accurate. If you see that things are different than described below please let us know!

What to Check:

  1. Open up Teams and check the Teams tab
  2. Find the Team you'd like to access in Zapier and press the 3 dots next to its name (not General)
  3. Select Manage team. Looks like: 

     

  4. Click Apps > More apps.
  5. You should now see Microsoft's app store and can search for "Zapier."
  6. Click the purple dropdown arrow next to Open and then Add to a team.
  7. From there, [Team Name] > General should be populated by default, but if not, locate it and then click Set up a bot

     

Now you can come back to Zapier and check the Zap again. You may have to refresh and if the Team dropdown menu in the Zap is still giving you that "Requires Zapier app to be Installed" message, you might need to disconnect and reconnect Teams to Zapier from scratch.

Hi @JeremySTL, I hope you don’t mind that I moved this to a new post, it looks like it’s a different issue to the one that you originally replied to. 

 

I think that this is related to a bug that we’re currently seeing with the MS Teams integration, but I’m going to pass you to the Support team so that they can take a closer look for you to confirm that. Someone will be in touch via email as soon as possible.

Not at all - thanks and I look forward to reviewing with support!

same issue here. Started to create a zapp and connect to Teams. Same error. I read past the “Then reconnect your Microsoft account in Zapier” recommendation. When i did actually reconnect the account within zapier (after installing the app in the team), the team was displayed properly.

@JeffST this makes sense I suppose. I was working with support and neither of us made a change and it all of a sudden started working.

Did anyone post the official resolution to this error as I am also having this issue; have tried disconnecting all accounts, restarting, etc.

We did not make any changes. It looks like @JeremySTL re-selected all their data fields and options, then the Zap started functioning again. Could you give this a try and see if that works for you?

Has this bug been resolved? I am hitting the same error despite adding the Zapier app in Teams and reconnecting. I have tried to create the zap from within Zapier and from within Teams but I’m presented with the same error over and over again. Thanks!


I have the same issue, I tried to reconnect my Teams app, but still get this error message.

Hi @steph.n, any idea what the time frame is on this? Is it actively being worked on or is it in a very long queue and unlikely to be resolved soon? Thanks

Same issue here. Can’t get the connection between Teams and Zapier to work despite reconnecting the Teams app and adding the Zap app to my Teams. 

Interestingly my older Zaps configured with Teams keep working. I’m afraid to open them though to not break anything.
