How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Include notifications based on keywords.

We need to get notifications based on keywords. For example: I am a subject matter expert for SAP and I like to know when SAP is typed into a channel so I can offer assistance.

    This feature was so useful in Slack for my Tech Team. We're really missing this feature in Teams.

    We need to get notifications based on keywords. For example: I am a subject matter expert for Security and Compliance, so I like to know when "password" or "username" or "incident" or "security" is typed into a channel so I can offer assistance.

    Adding to the pile on this. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing "it's been in slack for half a decade" and "my team refuses to move to teams because this feature is missing", but it doesn't make them any less true. As we near the end of 2020, an update would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I agree, this would be super helpful for integrating systems that post into teams with webhooks but surface the GUID instead of username so we can see when we're being @mentioned.

    This. Please. Yes. Really important feature that's needed in Teams.

  • Brien commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Two things: 1) what's the status on this, and 2) can tags be used for this purpose, or is that something differrent?

    This is something slack has that teams is desperately missing.

    Also asking for this. Managing larger teams, its impossible to read everything -- having the keywords allows management to focus in on areas that require immediate attention.

    Crucial to be able to monitor all channels for certain discussions or getting heads-up

  • Ben commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This really should be a key feature for MS Teams.
    Slack, RocketChat ... you name it, already have it.

    And this is vital for keeping an overview over all channels.

    I miss out on so many conversations that I could help with or messages that directly impact my work because this feature is missing.

  • Shane commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    My team is sticking with slack until this feature is enabled. I like many of the features in teams but keyword notification is an essential part of how we communciate on our chat platforms.

    Just another vote that we need this.

    This feature is so important.
    Notifications overkill is what prevents Teams from being used widely.

  • Big T commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Similar to the alert me feature in SharePoint but a bit more granular. for example in the construction industry perhaps hazard or safety would be flagged and when typed could notify management or Safety personnel for immediate response to the concern.

  • Tommy commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We moved from Slack to Teams and losing this feature was a major downgrade. Please make this feature a priority.
