keywords Monitoring

Would be great if admin could monitor keywords similar to yammer. entering key works that if typed would notify admin.

    Pretty surprised that Teams does not have this functionality and it's disappointing to see this not addressed in the nearly 2 years (from what I've seen) the idea has been around. This is especially necessary for companies with large product teams and product offerings.

    This is becoming more and more of a differentiator between Teams and Slack. There isn't even a good workaround to do this in Teams

    Skypes "Ego feeed" was a great way for my team to see when we had to be on alert with a particular customer, I'd love to see something like that implemented on teams.

    As a developer/architect, I would like to get an alert for other channels such as Support team discussions, when they mention a particular keyword. I don't want notifications based on the whole channel. It would also be cool if I could have a filtered view that shows all the times that a keyword is mentioned...

    The lack of keyword notifications is a major reason to stay with Slack

    Agree this should be a feature for all users not just admins.

    I think this is a very important feature. In larger projects, MS Teams can lead to the creation of many teams and channels on different subtopics. It makes sense for plenty of people to access all of these channels, but only read and participate when one of the features they are responsible for is mentioned.

    My preference would be a having a list (without a length restriction, please!) of regular expressions that, if matched by any message in any of the channels of the teams I'm in, send me a toast notification, but even a set of fixed, user-defined keywords would be incredibly helpful.

    We have a deployments channel that gets automated messages when code deployments occur. It would be incredibly helpful for some of our team members to get notifications when those notifications mention specific environments or specific branches. Right now their only option is to follow the channel and scan through every deployment message to see if any of them apply to that user.

    I would like to echo Tim Kennedy's sentiments. Each user should have the ability to set up notifications based on their preferred keywords.

  • Tim Kennedy commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    It would be great if any user could monitor keywords, not just admins. This is a pretty basic notification feature.
