More Connectors

I’ve done a little more testing of connectors, the RSS one has not worked yet, but I, added a twitter search which works and a ‘Incoming Webhook’. The webhook allows you to hook up services to post to your Outlook group. I’ve just tested it from the terminal.

The featured images shows the result of the twitter connector. You connect to your twitter account in the usual way and can set up alerts for usernames or searches. You can get them delivered periodically or as they happen.

The Twitter connector could be a simple and powerful way to pull information about a topic (hashtag) into an outlook group discussing that topic.

Here is an incoming webhook:

There is information on how to send these: Get started with Office 365 Connector Cards – Outlook Dev Center.

Here is a screenshot of the terminal producing that card (I’ve pixelated some of the url).

Hopefully this post will get pushed to the group through the RSS connection.
