Microsoft Teams for ITSM — End-to-End Setup Autopilot
Drive the complete Microsoft Teams for Employee Service (ITSM) setup as one continuous flow.
Delegate each stage to its specialized child skill, but own the sequence yourself and keep
going through every stage without stopping to ask permission between stages. Halt only at the
points where a human genuinely must act — nowhere else.
Goal
Take the user from nothing to a working Teams ITSM integration (IT Desk + IT Service, Swarming, and
— if they want it — the embedded Agentforce agent) in a single guided run. The child skills carry
the verified API detail; this skill is the conductor that runs them in order and manages the handoffs.
Core operating rule — run continuously, halt only where required
Do everything with no midway stop unless the user must supply something or perform an off-platform
action. Do not re-present a menu between stages, do not ask "shall I continue?" after each
stage, and do not ask the user to click Setup toggles this skill's children can do via API. Move
straight from one stage to the next, reporting progress as you go.
There are exactly three mandatory halts and one branch in the whole flow:
- HALT 1 — Azure/Entra app (Stage 2): you give the user the app-registration instructions and
wait for them to register the app and provide the credentials. No Salesforce API can do this.
The Client ID and Tenant ID are non-secret identifiers and may be given in chat; the
Client Secret is a confidential credential — NEVER ask for it in the conversation. The user
places it in the
TEAMS_ENTRA_CLIENT_SECRET
environment variable (or a gitignored secret file the
agent is told the path to); the agent reads it from there and never prints, echoes, or logs it.
- HALT 2 — IT Desk app install (Stage 3): you give the Microsoft Marketplace link and wait
for the user to reply "installed". No API installs a Teams app into a tenant catalog.
- HALT 3 — IT Service app install (Stage 4): same as HALT 2, for the IT Service app.
- BRANCH — IT Service Agentforce agent (Stage 7): the IT Desk agent works automatically, but the
IT Service embedded agent is pending work; ask the user whether to do it, and only run Stage 8
if they say yes.
If the user goes silent at a halt, stop and wait — do not fabricate the value or skip ahead. Every
other transition is automatic.
Within each stage, execute one operation at a time. The child skills make real, state-changing
API calls; run a single operation, confirm it succeeded, then proceed — never batch state-changing
calls into one parallel block. "No midway stop" means no permission gate between stages, not
firing writes in parallel.
The flow (run in this order)
Stage 1 — Enable the Teams for Employee Service Go feature
Invoke
service-itsm-teams-configure
for the feature-enable half only (its Steps 1–3): enable
service-cloud-itsm-teams-integration
and confirm
reads
. Report progress,
then continue straight into Stage 2 — do
not stop here.
Stage 2 — Microsoft Entra app + Named Credentials ⟶ HALT 1
Still within
service-itsm-teams-configure
(its Step 4a): give the user the exact Azure/Entra
app-registration clicks
including the Microsoft Graph Application permissions it lists, and
HALT until they provide the credentials. The
Client ID and
Tenant ID are non-secret
identifiers — accept them in chat. The
Client Secret is confidential: never request it in the
conversation. Instruct the user to set it in the
TEAMS_ENTRA_CLIENT_SECRET
environment variable
(or a gitignored secret file, and tell you the path); read it from there. Never print or echo it.
The moment the identifiers are given and the secret is in the env/file:
- Write those values into the
MSTeamsSetupClientCredentialsEC
Named Credential and the
Auth Provider yourself, via API — nothing manual (the child skill's
Step 5 and its azure-credential-population reference carry the exact API bodies). Reference the
secret by its env var / file path in the API call — do not inline the raw value into any logged text.
- Give the user the static Grant Admin Consent link and register the preferred site (child Step 5).
Then continue to Stage 3 automatically.
Stage 3 — Set up IT Desk (fulfiller side) ⟶ HALT 2
Invoke
service-itsm-teams-itdesk-configure
. Drive its whole checklist:
- Turn on the org preference (via API).
- Manage User Access — assign the fulfiller permission sets to the confirmed user(s):
+ , plus (the ECA-
pre-authorized set that also grants API Enabled — required for login, not optional).
- Turn on Swarming — this stage includes
service-itsm-swarming-configure
(enables and sets SWARM_COLLABORATION_TOOL = "Teams"
).
- Give the IT Desk Microsoft Marketplace link + help doc, tell the user the Azure account
email must match the Salesforce user's email/Username (SSO resolves MS UPN → ), and
HALT until the user replies "installed." Then continue to Stage 4.
Stage 4 — Set up IT Service (employee side) ⟶ HALT 3
Invoke
service-itsm-teams-itservice-configure
. Drive its whole checklist:
- Turn on the
OrgHasEmployeeServiceTeams
org preference (via API).
- Manage User Access — assign the employee permission sets to the confirmed UEL user(s):
+ , plus the API Enabled + ECA-authorized access
the child's login prerequisites require.
- Select the Digital Experience Site () via API.
- Give the IT Service Microsoft Marketplace link + help doc, repeat the email-must-match note,
and HALT until the user replies "installed." Then continue to Stage 5.
Stage 5 — Ask the user to verify login
Ask the user to open the
IT Desk app in Teams and sign in with the
fulfiller credentials, and
the
IT Service app with the
UEL/employee credentials, and confirm both load. If either fails,
route to
for the pass/fail login diagnostic before proceeding.
Stage 6 — Tell the user the IT Desk "Ask Agentforce" agent works automatically
Once IT Desk login is confirmed, tell the user that IT Desk's Ask Agentforce works automatically —
no further setup is needed on the fulfiller side.
Stage 7 — Offer the IT Service Agentforce agent ⟶ BRANCH
Tell the user the
IT Service side has pending work: the embedded Agentforce agent ("Ask AI Agent")
does
not reply until its messaging channel + Key Set + Embedded Service Deployment are built.
Ask whether they want to set it up now (use
). If
no, go to the completion
summary. If
yes, run Stage 8.
Stage 8 — Build the IT Service embedded agent (only if the user said yes)
Invoke
service-itsm-teams-employee-agent-configure
. It builds — 100% via API — the Web
messaging channel with
User Verification ON + a Key Set, the
Embedded Service Deployment (publish), the routing flow, and the Agent Access permission set on the
portal user. Then tell the user to
retest from a brand-new Teams chat to confirm the agent replies.
After each stage
- Report the child's ACTUAL verdict — never assume "Done." A stage is complete only when its
child skill explicitly reported success. If a child reports blocked (most commonly Stage 2 while
the Entra app is unregistered, or a halt awaiting "installed"), keep that stage /waiting
and hold at the halt — do not mark it done and do not skip ahead.
- Do not re-present a menu. State what just finished and what you're doing next, then do it.
Completion summary
When the flow ends (Stage 7 "no", or Stage 8 done, or a hard block the user chose not to resolve),
summarize each stage's real status. Header: all stages complete → Complete; any stage still
blocked/waiting → Incomplete (action required) with the exact next step; otherwise Finished.
Rules
- ALWAYS show "(via service-itsm-teams-coordinate)" in the setup header.
- Run the stages continuously; the only interactive stops are HALT 1–3 and the Stage 7 branch.
- NEVER ask the user to click a Setup toggle a child skill can flip via API (feature enable, org
prefs, permission-set assignment, digital site, named credentials).
- NEVER fabricate a halt value (Azure creds, "installed") or a child's success — wait for the real reply.
- Delegate every stage to its child skill; never re-implement a child's API logic inline here.
- Track progress across the conversation — do not re-run a completed stage.
- Do not show Salesforce record IDs in any output — human-readable names only.
- At Stages 3 and 4, always include the Azure-email-must-match-Salesforce-email note with the
marketplace link, since a mismatch is a common silent login failure.
