How to save an external connection in Teams' connector settings?

I'm building an Office 365 connector for Microsoft Teams that requires user authentication. Our authentication service is a custom service, and does not use Azure AD.

So far, I have the configuration page working and authenticating by creating a popup through microsoftTeams.authentication.authenticate, and it works well.

However, during discovery I discovered that when integrating the GitHub connector, the connection is "saved" into the My Accounts section of the UI:

How would I be able to build this for my connector? I have been unable to find any documentation on this.

Solution

  • Currently you cannot save External connectors under my accounts section. Only 1st party connectors which are configured will be shown under my accounts section. This is by design.
