Office 365 Connectors for Groups
Office 365 Connectors are a great way to get useful information and content into your Office 365 Group. Any user can connect their group to services like Trello, Bing News, Twitter, etc., and get notified of the group's activity in that service. From tracking a team's progress in Trello, to following important hashtags in Twitter, Office 365 Connectors make it easier for an Office 365 group to stay in sync and get more done. Office 365 Connectors currently have over 50 connectors with dozen or more to be added each month.
Office 365 Connectors for Groups is broadly available in Outlook 2016, Outlook on the web and the Groups mobile app for iOS and Android.
Office 365 Connectors also provide a compelling extensibility solution for developers. Developers can build connectors through incoming webhooks to generate rich connector cards. Additionally, with the new "Connect to Office 365" button, developers can embed the button on their site and enable users to connect to Office 365 groups.
