OpenText Core Case - Microsoft Teams Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Core Case and Microsoft Teams

OpenText Core Case and Microsoft Teams complement each other well in organizations that manage structured case work while relying on fast team collaboration. OpenText Core Case provides the controlled case record, task tracking, and supporting content needed for investigations and service processes, while Microsoft Teams enables real-time communication, meetings, and quick coordination across business and support teams. Integrating the two helps teams collaborate in Teams without losing the governance and traceability of the case in OpenText Core Case.

1. Case creation from Teams conversations

When a customer issue, compliance concern, or operational incident is discussed in a Teams channel, a user can create a new OpenText Core Case directly from the conversation. Key messages, attachments, and participant details are captured into the case record so the issue is formally tracked and assigned.
