Microsoft Teams has become the default workspace for fast-moving project coordination. Important decisions, clarifications, and issue resolutions increasingly happen in Teams channels outside formal project correspondence—creating a growing gap in the official project record. When channels are deleted, teams are disbanded, or message retention policies expire, critical project communications can be lost forever.
The challenge is particularly acute during project closeout, compliance audits, contractual disputes, or when new team members join mid-project and need visibility into earlier decisions.

Without a permanent archive, firms risk incomplete project records, regulatory exposure, and the inability to prove what was decided and when. The Newforma Microsoft Teams Connector solves this by automatically preserving your Teams channel conversations within Newforma Konekt—ensuring nothing gets lost, even when it’s deleted in Teams.

Enter Newforma Konekt Teams Connector

The Newforma Microsoft Teams Connector integrates Microsoft Teams with Newforma Konekt, automatically archiving public and shared Teams channel conversations directly within your project record. Messages, replies, reactions, and files are captured as part of the project record, giving firms a more complete, searchable, and durable history of project communication. The integration is read-only, meaning Teams content is never modified through Newforma Konekt—teams continue collaborating in Teams exactly as before, while their conversations are automatically preserved for the long term.

Key Features

Preserve Project Communication Beyond Teams

Reference channel discussions directly in Newforma Konekt without having to switch between tools or dig through old Teams channels. All project communication; email and Teams in one searchable location, accessible to the entire project team.

This capability is critical for firms managing compliance obligations, contractual requirements, project closeout, and potential disputes. When a question comes up later, you can prove what was decided, who was involved, when it happened, and the project context around it, even if the original message was edited or removed from Teams. Nothing disappears from your project record.

Eliminate Context Switching

Keep your project's Teams conversation history safe, even after channels or teams are deleted or decommissioned. Microsoft doesn't offer native long-term archiving, the Teams Connector fills that gap, ensuring continuity when team members leave and their accounts are decommissioned.

Real-time updates are delivered through Microsoft's webhook notification system, ensuring new activity is captured as it happens. Project members can browse and search archived channel content directly within Newforma Konekt without switching to Teams, bringing email and Teams communication into one searchable location for the entire project team.

Strengthen Compliance and Risk Management

Create a complete audit trail for firms managing compliance obligations, contractual requirements, project closeout, and potential disputes. Edits and deletions are captured with clear labels and history, giving you defensible records when questions arise months or years later.

Accelerate Team Onboarding and Knowledge Transfer

Give new project members immediate visibility into historical channel conversations and decisions without adding them to Teams. Reduce ramp-up time and eliminate repeated questions about past decisions by making the full conversation history accessible in the project record.

Features

Automatic Channel Archiving

Once a Teams channel is linked to a project, Newforma Konekt continuously archives new posts, replies, reactions, and file attachments in real time.

Edit and Deletion History Preservation

Once a channel is linked, when a Teams message is edited, Newforma Konekt preserves the current version as well as prior versions with timestamps.

Seamless Integration with Existing Workflows

After a one-time setup by your Microsoft tenant administrator at the hub level, project administrators can link specific Public or Shared Teams channels to their projects. Teams continue collaborating in Microsoft Teams as they always have.
