Quire for Microsoft Teams: Collaborate Smarter with Your Teammates

Last updated: May 29, 2026

Here's a small, familiar tragedy. A decision gets made in a Teams channel ("let's ship the landing page Friday"), everyone nods, and then nobody turns it into a task. Three days later the page isn't built, and the thread where it was agreed has scrolled into the void. The work and the conversation about the work were living in two different places.

Microsoft Teams is where a lot of teams already spend their day. According to Microsoft, Teams has grown past 300 million monthly active users, which means for many companies it's not just a chat app, it's the place work gets discussed. The Quire and Microsoft Teams integration closes the gap between that conversation and your actual task list.

You interact with a Quire bot right inside your channel. It can add a task, assign it, comment on it, search your projects, and keep the channel posted on changes, all through a series of actionable messages. You stay in the chat, and Quire stays up to date.

What does the Quire and Microsoft Teams integration do?

In plain terms, it lets you run Quire from Teams. The bot handles the common actions you'd otherwise switch tabs for:

• Create tasks straight from a message, with details filled in.
• Assign and comment on those tasks without opening Quire.
• Follow a project so the channel gets notified about updates.
• Search your Quire tasks from the message composer.

The Microsoft Teams integration is free to use with any active Quire account, on every plan. You only need a valid Quire login and a project to connect.

How do you add Quire to Microsoft Teams?

Setup takes two clicks before you ever talk to the bot.

1. Go to the Apps section on Microsoft Teams and search for Quire.

   

2. Click the Quire logo and choose Add to install it.

   

How do you connect your Quire workspace to Teams?

Once installed, you get a one-to-one chat with the Quire bot, which walks you through linking your account.

1. Use the button to log in to your Quire account, or sign up for a new one. You can also type "Login" and the bot will surface the button.

   

2. Choose which Quire work scope you'd like Teams to access, then click Allow.

   

3. After Teams is linked to your Quire organization, link the specific project you want Teams to access.

   

How do you create, follow, and search tasks from Teams?

This is where the integration earns its place. All of it happens in the message composer.

Create a task. Type "Add task," click the Add task button, fill in the details, and confirm. Your task lands in the linked Quire project.

You can then view the new task in Quire or add a comment to it directly, using the buttons that appear.

Follow a project. Type "Follow project" and choose one for the channel to follow. Now you and your teammates get notified in Teams whenever the Quire project changes, so the channel becomes a live feed instead of a place where updates get pasted by hand.

Search for tasks. Click the Quire logo in the message composer and type the task name you're looking for.

Get help. Any time you forget a command, type "help" and the bot lists everything the Quire and Microsoft Teams integration can do.

How does Quire's Teams integration compare to other PM tools?

Most PM tools ship some kind of Teams app now. They differ in whether you can actually create and act on tasks from a message, or whether the app is just a tab that embeds the web view.

The pattern: a Teams integration is table stakes now. What varies is how much you can do without leaving the channel, and whether the feature is gated behind a higher plan. Quire's runs through a bot that handles the full create-assign-comment-follow loop, and it's free with any account.

When isn't the Teams integration worth setting up?

A couple of honest cases where you can skip it.

If your team doesn't actually live in Microsoft Teams, this changes nothing for you. The integration's whole value is meeting people where they already chat, so if that's Slack or email, look at those connections instead. Quire also has a Gmail integration and others.

And if you're a solo user, the bot mostly saves you a tab switch rather than a coordination headache. It's still handy, but the payoff is smaller when there's no channel full of teammates to keep in sync. The integration shines when a group needs to turn conversation into tracked work, fast.

Ready to connect Quire and Microsoft Teams?

If your team runs on Teams, install Quire from the Apps section, link one real project, and try turning your next "we should do X" message into an actual task on the spot. The first time a decision becomes a tracked task before the thread scrolls away, you'll see why it's worth the two-minute setup.
