Automate Microsoft Teams Integration Tasks from PowerShell

The CData Cmdlets for Microsoft Teams are standard PowerShell cmdlets that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time and bidirectional access to Microsoft Teams.

PowerShell Cmdlets or ADO.NET Provider?

The Cmdlets are not only a PowerShell interface to Microsoft Teams, but also an SQL interface; this tutorial shows how to use both to create, retrieve, update, and delete Microsoft Teams data. We also show examples of the ADO.NET equivalent, which is possible with the CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Teams. To access Microsoft Teams data from other .NET applications, like LINQPad, use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Teams.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Microsoft Teams data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

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.

PowerShell

1. Install the module:

   Install-Module MSTeamsCmdlets

2. Connect:

   $msteams = Connect-MSTeams -OAuthClientId "$OAuthClientId" -OAuthClientSecret "$OAuthClientSecret" -CallbackURL "$CallbackURL"

3. Search for and retrieve data:

   $id = "Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB" $teams = Select-MSTeams -Connection $msteams -Table "Teams" -Where "Id = `'$Id`'" $teams

   You can also use the Invoke-MSTeams cmdlet to execute SQL commands:

   $teams = Invoke-MSTeams -Connection $msteams -Query 'SELECT * FROM Teams WHERE Id = @Id' -Params @{'@Id'='Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB'}

ADO.NET

1. Load the provider's assembly:

   [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Teams\lib\System.Data.CData.MSTeams.dll")

2. Connect to Microsoft Teams:

   $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsConnection("OAuthClientId=MyApplicationId;OAuthClientSecret=MySecretKey;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH") $conn.Open()

3. Instantiate the MSTeamsDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

   $sql="SELECT subject, location_displayName from Teams" $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsDataAdapter($sql, $conn) $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable $da.Fill($dt) $dt.Rows | foreach { Write-Host $_.subject $_.location_displayname }
