Microsoft Teams - Create PDF, Word, Excel Documents

Microsoft Teams can be connected with Documentero to automatically create documents whenever certain conversations or events happen in Teams. For example, new messages or replies can trigger the generation of reports, summaries, or logs in .docx, .pdf, or .xlsx formats. This setup helps teams capture important discussions and turn them into ready-to-use files without manual work. The integration can be managed through API, Make, Zapier, n8n, or Power Automate.
