Kaizala Connectors

Important

Microsoft Kaizala has retired on August 31, 2023. We recommend using Microsoft Teams for continued connection, sharing, and collaboration.

Kaizala Connector allows developers to integrate an organization's systems and processes with Kaizala using REST based APIs. For example, you can:

  • automate group creation

  • Manage group membership

  • post messages

Kaizala Connectors provide actions on the following entities:

  • messages

  • instant messages

  • surveys and polls

  • groups

  • Navigate to Connectors on the left navigation bar. Select New Connector on the top right of the page.
