Enhancing SAP Business Processes: Data Collection Made Easy with Microsoft Teams and Looply

In today's fast-paced business environment, efficient data collection is crucial for making informed decisions and driving successful outcomes. What if you could streamline this process directly within Microsoft Teams? In our latest video, we demonstrate how to use Microsoft Adaptive Cards to seamlessly collect data for a business process within Teams—showcasing an innovative way to gather information that can be integrated into SAP or other cloud systems like Google Sheets.

Video Overview: In this video, we focus on a simple yet effective example: generating and distributing a survey using a custom-built Survey Generator in Microsoft Teams. The flexibility of this tool allows users to easily create and customize surveys tailored to their needs.

Key Features Demonstrated:

• Survey Creation in Teams: The Survey Generator card allows users to design surveys with up to five questions, each configurable with various question types such as text fields, drop-down lists, and checkboxes.
• Customizable Options: Users can add multiple-choice questions, make certain questions mandatory, and even allow for multiple answers where necessary. Each question is editable, ensuring that the survey can be fine-tuned before distribution.
• Seamless Distribution: Once the survey is ready, it can be sent to selected team members within Teams, who can then easily provide their responses through an interactive card.

The Power of Looply: What makes this process truly powerful is the integration managed by Looply. Behind each Teams card, Looply handles the workflow, ensuring that data collected via the survey is efficiently captured and ready to be sent to SAP or any other third-party system. This not only streamlines the process but also eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing errors and saving time.

Conclusion: Using Adaptive Cards in Microsoft Teams, empowered by Looply, brings all the tools you need into one place. Whether you're collecting meal choices or managing more complex business processes, this integration offers a user-friendly and efficient solution for data collection within your organization.
