Updated June 6, 2024: For organizations of Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet, you can safely disregard this message. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. For Microsoft Outlook on the web and new Outlook for Windows, we will be retiring Microsoft 365 Groups connectors starting August 5, 2024, and ending September 5, 2024. Microsoft 365 Groups connectors deliver notifications and updates from online apps, tools, and services (such as Asana, Trello, or RSS) to Group email. Instead, we recommend using the Microsoft Power Automate app to continue receiving notifications/updates from these apps on Group email. How this will affect your organization: After the Microsoft 365 Groups connectors retire, users will not be able to create new connections or update/manage existing configurations, and existing configurations will no longer receive new notifications. Before this retirement, users set up these connectors by going to their Microsoft 365 Group's Settings > Connectors. Workaround for users Users who wish to continue receiving notifications/updates from these apps on Group email can configure a connector with the Power Automate app.
Alternatively, users who are part of a Microsoft Teams channel backed by the same Microsoft 365 Group can choose to receive notifications in the channel as posts by creating a workflow (via the Workflows app that is powered by Power Automate). What you need to do to prepare: This retirement will happen automatically by the specified date. Please notify your users about this retirement, update relevant documentation as appropriate, and share. |
