Microsoft Teams Platform is a powerful, flexible platform for creating apps for Teams. It provides a vast suite of development environments and tools that support app development.
The user story
You've had a view of Teams offerings. You can now map them to user needs. Consider the following scenario:
A developer at Tours and Travel agency builds an app for their users, the travelers. The app must:
- Check and send the forecast to travelers registered with the travel agency.
- Notify users a day before the departure date so they can plan their journey.
Developers collate and map requirements to Teams functionalities:
| User app needs | Check forecast | Notification before travel | Registered user |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capability | Notification bot | ||
| Integration | 
Microsoft Graph, Weather API |
||
| Scope | Personal app | ||
| Integration point | Notification |
Teams app solution: A Teams notification bot app that checks the forecast and sends forecast notifications to registered users before their travel date.
Teams provides these and many more capabilities to build a feature-rich app solution. To develop this app:
- Create a notification bot app.
- Integrate with an external weather forecast API to connect and request forecasts for specific dates and locations.
- Integrate with
Microsoft Graph to manage registered users.
- Check and send forecast details based on the user's travel date and travel location.
