How the Add-in Works
The Add-in package is uploaded into your organization's Teams environment. This makes the "TonicDM" tab available for your staff to add as a channel in Team. Note: it doesn't automatically add the "TonicDM" tab to any Teams, it just makes it available.
Deploy the Teams add-in to staff
In the Microsoft 365 admin portal navigate to the Integrated Apps section.
Click the Upload custom apps button.
Choose Teams app as the App Type, and Choose File. In the Filename field of the Open File dialog box, put https://app.tonicdm.com/t1.zip as the filename. Note: this is a web URL to the zip file!
The manifest will be automatically validated, then click Next.
Choose whether to deploy to the Entire organization or only to Specific users/groups.
After accepting the permissions and confirming the deployment, it usually takes 1-3 days for the add-in to appear in Outlook.
Adding the TonicDM tab to a Teams Channel
Navigate to a channel within Microsoft Teams and then click on the plus button in the tab header, then search for TonicDM and select the app.
The Team channel configuration window should appear. In order for the configuration to automatically recognize the TonicDM project associated with the channel, the Team channel name must start with the project number as shown in the TonicDM portal.
If it cannot automatically configure, close the configuration window, update the channel name, and then try again.
If it successfully configured, then it should show the associated project. Clicking the save button will add the TonicDM app as a tab in the channel that can be accessed from then on.
TonicDM should now load seamlessly into Teams! Use the expand button for the best experience.
