Microsoft Teams Integration

What This Integration Does

Microsoft Teams is where your conversations happen.

Slingshot is where work gets planned and executed.

This integration connects the two, so you can start calls, resolve blockers, and act on decisions without switching tabs or losing your place.

Key Capabilities

Launch Teams Calls From Any Task

Start a Microsoft Teams call directly from any chat in Slingshot. No tab-switching, no hunting for participants, no re-explaining what you were just working on.

Keep Decisions Attached to Work

When a call ends, the context doesn’t disappear. You can:

• Discuss work

• Create your action items

• Align on decisions

Reduce Context Switching

Agency teams don’t have time to coordinate the coordination. Slingshot eliminates the need to:

• Open Teams separately

• Search for participants

• Re-explain context

Everything starts from where the work already lives.

How It Works

1. Open a Chat in Slingshot

Your starting point is always the work itself.

2. Launch a Teams Call in One Click

No app-switching, no copy-pasting a link.

3. Collaborate in Real Time

Discuss campaign changes, decisions, or blockers immediately.

4. Continue Execution

Return to the workflow and move work forward.

Why This Integration Matters

Most agency teams run campaigns across too many tools. Briefs in one place, feedback in another, calls somewhere else.

This creates friction:

• Context gets lost

• Decisions aren’t captured

• Follow-ups are delayed

By the time a decision gets made, half the team has lost the thread.

That’s the problem the Slingshot Microsoft Teams workflow integration solves:

• Resolve issues faster

• Reduce delays

• Keep decisions tied to execution

Example Workflow

1. A marketing team is reviewing campaign performance.

2. A discussion starts around declining results.

3. Instead of scheduling a meeting later, the team launches a Teams call directly from the discussion.

4. They align on next steps immediately, assign actions, and continue execution — all without losing context.

Why Slingshot Is Different

Most Microsoft Teams project management tools bolt Teams on as an afterthought. You get a notification tab or a task list that lives separately from where real work happens.

Slingshot is built the other way around, connecting work, communication, and data.

Instead of treating Teams as a separate system, Slingshot ensures communication happens in the context of execution.

That’s the difference between a tool connection and a workflow connection.

Who This Integration Is For

• Marketing Teams

  Run faster campaign cycles. When feedback and approvals happen inside the task, nothing falls through the cracks.

• Cross-Functional Teams

  Brief, align, and act across departments without the four-email chain.

• Remote/Hybrid Teams

  Your team is spread across time zones. Starting calls from inside the task means everyone joins with full context, not just a meeting link.
