The background to connectors
Office connectors deliver content and service updates in Microsoft Teams directly from third-party services to a Teams channel. By using Office connectors, users can receive updates from services such as Azure DevOps Services, Trello, Wunderlist, GitHub and others. Office connectors post these updates directly to the chat stream. This feature makes it easy for all team members to stay up to date and informed about relevant information.

Connector for Teams will be retired
Microsoft has announced the retirement of connectors for Teams from Microsoft Office 365 as of August 15, 2024. I came across this information overnight at neowin.net (a reader also mentioned in my German blog). Microsoft announced the details in a post Retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams from June 3, 2024.
- August 15, 2024: All newly created connections will be blocked in all clouds
- October 1, 2024: All connectors in all clouds will no longer work
Microsoft also has an alternative solution up its sleeve: Administrators should simply switch to Power Automate Workflows to import the data into Teams.
