Tabs

Browse tasks, start processes, and monitor incidents using embedded tabs in Microsoft Teams.

About​

Camunda for Microsoft Teams adds visual tabs to your Teams sidebar, providing a rich interface for interacting with your Camunda clusters. Each tab focuses on a specific area of process management.

Tasks​

With the Tasks tab, you can browse and manage user tasks from your Camunda clusters.

  • Filter tasks by category: My tasks, All open tasks, Unclaimed tasks, or Completed tasks.
  • Sort and search tasks using additional filter controls (assignee, candidate group, process, dates, priority).
  • Switch between views: Card view or list view.
  • View task details including the process it belongs to, priority, due date, and creation time.
  • Assign a task to yourself and complete it, either by filling in a Camunda form or by providing data manually.
  • Navigate pages in large task lists or load more items on mobile.
note

Tasks update automatically as you complete work in Camunda or Microsoft Teams.

note

When a task is completed from the tab, an appContext variable is automatically included in the task variables with source set to "tab".

Processes​

With the Processes tab, you can view and start Camunda process definitions.

  • Browse all available process definitions displayed as cards.
  • Select a process and choose a specific version.
  • Fill in a start form (if the process has one) or provide variables manually, then start a new process instance.
  • After starting, get a direct link to view the running instance in Operate.

To start a process:

  1. Select the Processes tab.
  2. Select a process definition.
  3. Complete any required fields.
  4. Click Start process.
note

When a process is started from the tab, an appContext variable is automatically included in the process variables with source set to "tab".

Incidents​

With the Incidents tab, you can monitor incidents that occurred during process execution.

  • See a list of active incidents with error type, description, and timestamp.
  • Retry a failed incident directly from Teams.
  • Copy a link to the incident or open it in Operate for deeper investigation.

Onboarding​

When you first open the app, the Onboarding page guides you through connecting your Teams account to your Camunda account via single sign-on. If you don't have a Camunda account yet, you can sign up from this page.

Cluster status​

The Cluster Status page displays the health of your currently selected cluster. If the cluster is suspended (sleeping), you can wake it up directly from this page.
