# Add Rivvi to Microsoft Teams

> Run Rivvi from inside Teams — trigger runs and follow up without leaving your chat.

The Microsoft Teams connector lets your team work with Rivvi from inside Teams — trigger runs, follow up on tasks, and stay in the loop without switching apps.

Unlike the other connectors, Teams isn't a paste-a-token flow. You **install the Rivvi app** in Teams and sign in.

<Note>
  **This is different from reading Teams messages.** If you want the agent to *read* messages from your Teams channels as data (e.g. "what did the ops channel discuss this week?"), that comes from the [Microsoft 365](/connectors/microsoft-365) connector — no install required. This page is about *running Rivvi from inside* Teams as a chat app.
</Note>

<Note>
  Rivvi never shows patient information in Teams. When there's something to look at, it links you back to the workspace.
</Note>

## Install it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the Rivvi Teams app package">
    From **Settings → Connectors → Microsoft Teams**, download the Rivvi Teams app package (a `.zip`). The package is wired to your environment automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload it in Teams">
    In Microsoft Teams, go to **Apps → Manage your apps → Upload an app → Upload a custom app**, and choose the downloaded `.zip`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Rivvi and send a message">
    Open the Rivvi app in Teams and send any message — you'll be prompted to sign in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in">
    Sign in with your Rivvi account. After that, Rivvi is linked to your Teams identity automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Sideloading a custom app may require a Teams administrator to allow it for your organization. If upload is blocked, ask your Teams admin to enable custom app uploads.
</Warning>
