# Adding Swarmia to a Microsoft Teams channel

Swarmia's [team notifications](/settings/team/team-notifications.md) are a great way to stay up to date with all that needs your team's attention on a day-to-day basis.

If your team has a public channel, you should be able to choose it in Swarmia [notification settings](https://app.swarmia.com/settings/team/notifications). If your channel is missing for some reason, follow the instructions below.

## Step 1. Invite the Swarmia app to your channel

Go to the channel you wish to add Swarmia to and mention **@swarmia**.

## **Step 2.** Refresh the [team notifications](https://app.swarmia.com/settings/team/notifications) page

You should be able to see your channel in the list now.

## **(Optional) Step 3.** Reinstall the Swarmia app in Microsoft Teams

If mentioning your app in the correct channel does not achieve the desired effect you can try removing and reinstalling the Swarmia Microsoft Teams app. Please refer to [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/manage-apps) to find out how best to remove an app from your organization, and once the app has been successfully removed you can find more information on how to install it [in the Swarmia app](https://app.swarmia.com/settings/microsoft-teams) or in other articles [in the Help Center](/settings/integrations/messaging-apps/microsoft-teams.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.swarmia.com/settings/integrations/messaging-apps/microsoft-teams/adding-swarmia-to-a-microsoft-teams-channel.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
