  • Automatically recognize your team champions :trophy: with CLI for Microsoft 365 – with existing cmdlets in CLI, query criteria and a business objective (ID champions), Tenant Admins can modify general site wide reporting (i.e., chat, file activity) to identify top active Microsoft Teams contributors or SharePoint users within a timeframe.   For chat ranking in a channel - count messages, replies, likes, comments by contributor, return top 3.  Via Webhook, send Adaptive Card to communicate champion status.   

  • Updates on Independent Publisher Connectors & Care Quality Commissions Connector Demo –  13 custom connectors added in October.  Create a connector earn a Credly badge.  Get a look at the CQC connector that takes data from the Care Quality Commission in England - independently gathers data on care service providers.   A Power App elegantly displays care provider rankings by location calling 2 flows that get location details via the connector in the back-end.
