Microsoft Teams integration: compliance notices right in the channel
Your team works in Microsoft 365. Compliance notices should arrive there. SimpleAct’s Teams integration posts messages to a channel when audit actions are overdue, a legal review falls due, an evidence approval is requested or a governance completion is blocked.

What the integration does
Compliance signals where teams communicate
The integration notifies; it is not a way to operate the app. Approvals, reviews and status changes happen by following the link into SimpleAct.
- Four switchable notices
- Overdue audit playbook actions, due legal reviews, blocked governance completions and requested evidence approvals can each be switched on and off.
- Operational events
- SimpleAct also reports escalated runtime signals, change register entries and CAPA actions to the channel.
- Evidence approvals only, not the approvals module
- Announced are approvals of governance evidence. Requests from the multi-stage approvals module (DPIA, TIA, Annex IV and others) do not appear in Teams but under "My approvals" in SimpleAct.
How it works
Setting up Teams
Set-up happens under Enterprise options → Integrations.
Create a webhook
Create an incoming webhook for the desired channel in Teams and enter its URL in SimpleAct; optionally a channel label.
Send a test message
The connection test posts a test message to the channel. Then choose which of the four notices are sent.
Work in SimpleAct
The message names the case and AI system and links into SimpleAct, where you approve, review or escalate.
What the Teams integration does and does not do
Notices in the conversation, decisions in the system.
- Notices on overdue audit actions and due legal reviews
- Notices on governance blockers and requested evidence approvals
- Notices on runtime signals, change register and CAPA
- One webhook or channel per organisation
- No actions from within Teams: approving or rejecting happens in SimpleAct
- No notices from the multi-stage approvals module
- Enterprise feature
Frequently asked questions about Teams
Do we need to install a Teams app?
No. The integration uses an incoming webhook of the channel. No app in the Teams admin center is needed.
Can we use different channels for different events?
No, one webhook is stored per organisation. Which notices are sent can be switched individually.
Can we approve directly in Teams?
No. The message links into SimpleAct, where the decision is made and recorded.
