How to Integrate Microsoft Teams With GSuite Software?

Teams is used as a communication and collaboration platform that allows team members of an organization to communicate, plan, chat, conduct video meetings, file storage, and integrate multiple applications and software. Collaboration software like Microsoft Teams have become more popular in recent years. The reason for this explosion in their popularity is the ability they provide users to integrate other software in the form of widgets. With the help of the widget format, you can add and integrate various software that your team uses and then use them from within Teams for various business processes through a single interface. Despite its usability, Teams has a bunch of drawbacks -

Limited Integrations

Unlike Slack, Microsoft Teams has a limited number of integrations. Slack allows users near-limitless integration and introduces new software every day. Since Teams is a part of the Office 365 suite, Microsoft promotes its own software more.

A Difficult Interface

A collaboration software is bound to have a difficult interface but Teams is a massive culprit of an overwhelming UI design that has a significant learning curve.

Lack of Support for Google Suite

Almost every organization currently uses GSuite for many of its online needs. It is important for a collaboration software to take this into consideration. But since Office 365 directly competes with GSuite, Teams does not provide a direct way to integrate Google products with it. There are workarounds but they are rudimentary at best.

However, what if we told you that you could use both the GSuite and Teams together? What if we told you we could help you make Teams more flexible? And on top of that, what if we told you that you could do it through a visual workflow?It is not far fetched at all. You can do it through a workflow automation software. A workflow automation tool provides you with the ability to create a simple visual workflow that you can use to integrate any software. To understand more about workflow automation, you can read our blog explaining the working of automation software. Appy Pie provides its own workflow automation software in the form of Appy Pie Connect. To explain how you can integrate and automate Teams and the GSuite, we’ve taken the example of a single workflow first. One of the most wanted integrations for Microsoft Teams is the Google Calendar.
