Ever returned from leave to hundreds of Teams messages? The Teams connector lets ChatGPT summarise conversations you can access, highlighting key decisions, actions, and issues.
Catch up on a Teams chat in 3 simple steps:
Connect Teams to ChatGPT
Search your Teams chat
Review the brief
Here's what you need for this exercise
Tools and inputs required:
🛠️ Tool | ChatGPT Enterprise (WOG) |
🔗 Feature | Microsoft Teams Connector |
📂 Your input | Connected Microsoft Teams account |
Step 1: Connect Teams to ChatGPT

☑️ Open ChatGPT Enterprise (opens in new tab), navigate to 'Plugins'.

☑️ Look for 'Teams' and click '+'.

☑️ You will now see Teams under your 'Installed' plugins
Step 2: Search your Teams chat

☑️ Ask ChatGPT to summarise the chat history from the Teams channel. You can copy the prompt below.
Ready-to-use prompt
Review my Microsoft Teams conversations for [Channel Name] during the period [Start Date] to [End Date].
Provide the following:
Executive Summary
Summarise the main topics discussed and significant updates.
Decisions Made
List confirmed decisions, agreements reached and issues resolved.
Action Items
Create a table showing:
Action
Owner
Status (Open / In Progress / Completed)
Outstanding Issues
List unresolved questions, risks or dependencies.
What I Need to Know
Identify the top three actions or decisions that require my attention.
Focus on decisions and actions rather than repeating individual messages.
3. Review the brief

☑️ Review the brief and check the source Teams channel to validate any important decisions.
Now it's your turn to try
Connect ChatGPT to Microsoft Teams and ask for a brief.
For example:
"Review conversations in [Teams Channel] from the last 2 weeks and provide a summary of decisions, actions and outstanding issues."
The Teams connector is particularly useful when you need to catch up quickly without reading every message individually.
