Company Communicator App Template

Documentation	Deployment guide	Architecture

Company Communicator is a custom Teams app that enables corporate teams to create and send messages intended for multiple teams or large number of employees over chat allowing organization to reach employees right where they collaborate. Use this template for multiple scenarios, such as new initiative announcements, employee onboarding, modern learning and development, or organization-wide broadcasts.

The app provides an easy interface for designated users to create, preview, collaborate and send messages. It's also a foundation for building custom targeted communication capabilities, such as custom telemetry on how many users acknowledged or interacted with a message.

Key features

Message creation: Easily create messages by using a team tab where team members who are permissioned can collaborate and create messages.
Audience selection: Pick from three options to target audience. Send to general channel of selected teams, send in 1:1 chat to members of selected teams or send to all users who have the app installed.
