Build Data Flows from SQL Server to Microsoft Teams through SSIS

SQL Server databases are commonly used to store enterprise records. It is often necessary to move this data to other locations. The CData SSIS Task for Microsoft Teams allows you to easily transfer Microsoft Teams data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to Microsoft Teams.

Add Source and Destination Components

To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new Microsoft Teams Destination control to the data flow task.

Configure the ADO.NET Source

Follow the steps below to specify properties required to connect to the SQL Server instance.

1. Open the ADO.NET Source and add a new connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "Table or view" and select the table or view to export into Microsoft Teams.
3. Close the ADO NET Source wizard and connect it to the destination component.

Create a New Connection Manager for Microsoft Teams

Follow the steps below to set required connection properties in the Connection Manager.

1. Create a new connection manager: In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
2. Select CData MSTeams Connection Manager in the menu.
3. Configure the connection properties.

   You can connect to MS Teams using the embedded OAuth connectivity. When you connect, the MS Teams OAuth endpoint opens in your browser. Log in and grant permissions to complete the OAuth process. See the OAuth section in the online Help documentation for more information on other OAuth authentication flows.

Configure the Microsoft Teams Destination

In the destination component Connection Manager, define mappings from the SQL Server source table into the Microsoft Teams destination table and the action you want to perform on the Microsoft Teams data. In this article, you will insert Teams entities to Microsoft Teams.

1. Double-click the Microsoft Teams destination to open the destination component editor.
2. In the Connection Managers tab, select the connection manager previously created.
3. In the Use a Table, menu, select Teams. In the Action menu, select Insert. 👁 The destination table and action to be performed.
   
4. On the Column Mappings tab, configure the mappings from the input columns to the destination columns. 👁 The mappings from the SQL Server source to the SSIS destination component.
   

Run the Project

You can now run the project. After the SSIS Task has finished executing, data from your SQL table will be exported to the chosen table.
