You’re preparing a reply to a client about a contract. The agreement is in SharePoint, the client’s comments are in Outlook, and your colleagues discussed the changes in Teams. You need all of them before you can answer.

Connect those accounts to Praktik and ask it to work with the emails, files and conversations in your chat. With Teams, you can check what colleagues agreed, read the replies to a channel post and send an update back to the discussion. Outlook also lets you prepare an email draft that you review and send in Outlook.

Find the email and the file you need

The Outlook connection lets Praktik search emails by sender, subject or message text, read the conversation and bring supported attachments into your chat. You can ask it to find the client’s comments on a renewal and summarize what still needs an answer.

With OneDrive and SharePoint, Praktik can search for files, browse folders and copy a selected document into the chat workspace. The original stays where it is, unchanged.

That gives you a way to work with the client’s instructions alongside the agreement without copying each email into a prompt or uploading every file by hand.

Catch up on the Teams discussion

Ask Praktik to find a team, channel or existing chat your account can access. It can read chat messages and channel posts, including the replies in a thread.

For a contract review, you might ask:

“Read the discussion in the contract-review channel. What changes did we agree on, and which questions are still open?”

You can also search for messages about a particular issue, such as a renewal deadline. Search relies on Microsoft’s index, so a missing result does not mean the topic was never discussed. Citations let you reopen individual messages and check the source, provided you still have access.

Praktik can retrieve supported inline content, such as embedded images, into its private workspace. For ordinary file attachments, use the OneDrive or SharePoint connection.

Send an update to Teams

Praktik can send plain-text messages to existing chats, post in existing channels and reply to channel threads. Give it the destination and the wording:

“Post this in the contract-review channel: ‘The revised draft is ready for review. Please send any remaining comments by Thursday.’”

This sends a real Teams message. There is no separate Praktik confirmation dialog before sending, so be specific about where it should go and what it should say. Microsoft permissions still apply.

Prepare the client email in Praktik

Once you’ve checked the discussion and the agreement, ask Praktik to prepare the reply. You can include recipients and attach files from the current chat workspace:

“Prepare an email to the client summarizing the agreed changes. Attach the revised agreement from this chat and copy my colleague.”

Praktik shows the recipients, subject, message and attachment filenames in chat. Check the proposal, then choose Create draft to save it to the connected Outlook mailbox. Open in Outlook takes you to the editable draft in Outlook on the web, where you can make final changes and click Send.

You first need to enable draft creation for the Outlook connection and grant the additional Microsoft permission. Asking for an email does not create anything in the mailbox by itself, and Praktik does not send the email. You control both steps: creating the draft and sending it in Outlook.

Accounts and permissions

Teams works with Microsoft work or school accounts, not personal accounts. Reading channels requires your Microsoft tenant administrator’s consent.

Each connection uses your account and its permissions. Connecting an account does not give colleagues access to its credentials or automatically share its contents. If you copy material into a shared chat, that copy follows the chat’s sharing rules.

The Teams connection works with existing conversations. It does not create chats, manage memberships, upload files or retrieve meeting transcripts and recordings.
