Frequently Asked Questions
Does Salesforce have a native Microsoft Teams integration?
Salesforce's native integration focuses primarily on Slack (which Salesforce owns). For Microsoft Teams, you'll need a third-party solution like Cyfuno Labs, Power Automate, or Pyko.
What's the fastest way to get Salesforce alerts in Teams?
Pyko uses Salesforce Platform Events to deliver notifications in 1-3 seconds. Polling-based solutions like Power Automate and Zapier have delays of 1-15 minutes.
Can I update Salesforce records from Microsoft Teams?
Yes, with Pyko you can update fields, change stages, and create tasks directly from Teams using interactive buttons. Most other solutions only send one-way notifications.
Is Power Automate free for Salesforce integration?
Basic Power Automate is included with Microsoft 365, but the Salesforce connector is a "premium" connector that requires an additional license ($15/user/month or higher).
Does Pyko work with Teams Enterprise?
Yes. Pyko supports Microsoft Teams Enterprise features including multi-tenant deployments, Azure AD authentication, compliance features, and data residency requirements.
Can I send alerts to Teams channels and direct messages?
Yes. Pyko supports both Teams channels and 1:1 chats. You can route messages dynamically based on Salesforce data (like lead owner or territory).
