Microsoft Teams: New import API and its core benefits you should know about

  • September 17 2021

Reading Time: 2 minutes

If you’re planning for migrating to Microsoft Teams, NOW is the time!  Accessing Import API is free of cost now BUT here comes the drill! 

Microsoft will soon levy charges if you use the new API for importing messages.

The cost will be based on the amount of data imported.  We’d want you to make use of it when it is of no charge! Use the Microsoft new API for Teams migration when it is absolutely free of cost!

If you are someone looking out for Slack to Teams migration, or even Teams to Teams tenant migration, you have landed in the perfect place! This article will give you detailed insights and everything you should know about Slack to Teams and Teams to Teams migration.

 

Let’s know about Microsoft Teams import API

With the new API, you can import third-party platform messages to your Microsoft Teams. For instance, it could either be Slack to Teams or even your Teams to Teams migration. This is a new functionality introduced and is commercially available for tenants.

Do I need to have a new import API only to import information into Microsoft Teams?

No. You can import information without the new import API too.

There are two methods, using which, we can import the messages. The first method is using the MS Teams import API (Method 1), and another one is the MS Teams Standard API (Method 2). However, there are drawbacks and hurdles you might have to encounter if you perform the migration with the MS Teams Standard API (Method 2). Some of the hurdles are mentioned below

  • Unable to retain the original sender in the message as slack
  • Unable to retain the slack message posted date and time
  • Large scale migration is possible with MS Teams Standard API (Method 2) but it is very time consuming
  • Frequent throttling due to heavy data migration

When you go through the long migration process with MS Teams Standard API (Method 2), encountering numerous throttles is common. You’d find it frustrating as there would be a delay in the migration.

Microsoft was aware of this discrepancy and perhaps wanted to bring something that’d bridge the gap and fill the loophole in the migration process, making it faster and more effective. The team worked on it relentlessly and introduced the new functionality that addresses the above issues.

 

So, how does it benefit and what are its advantages?

One of the most important functionalities would be high throughput processing which means less throttling. The import API supports the following benefitting the users.

  • Retention of the actual source message posted time
  • Retention of the actual Slack message posted user’s name
  • Shows image Inline preview
  • No throttles and faster migration

Microsoft has some guidelines to use the APIs and we at AVASOFT ensure that they are strictly followed, and align our services keeping in mind the rules and regulations.
