I'll update the tracker." > 3. **Anna (Mon, 09:25):** "Great, I'll notify the stakeholders." > 4. **Lena (Mon, 10:01):** "Press release draft is ready for review." > 5. **Tom (Mon, 10:15):** "On it — will send feedback this afternoon." > > Would you like me to summarize these or extract any action items?" *** ### Tips for Better Results The more specific your request, the better Blockbrain can help you \[4]. #### Be Specific * ❌ *"Find my message"* * ✅ *"Find my message about the Q3 budget in the Finance channel"* #### Use File Types When Searching for Files * ❌ *"Show me files"* * ✅ *"Show me all PDF files shared in the Marketing team last week"* #### Mention the Location * ❌ *"Find the meeting"* * ✅ *"Find the meeting transcript from the Project Kickoff in the Engineering team"* *** ### Security & Privacy #### What Blockbrain **can** do: * Read messages, channel posts, and meeting transcripts you have access to * Send messages or create chats when you ask it to * Schedule or update meetings on your behalf * Browse and retrieve files shared in Teams channels #### What Blockbrain **cannot** do: * Access teams, channels, or chats you don't have permission to see * Send messages or make changes without your explicit instruction * Store copies of your messages, files, or meeting data #### Built-in safety: * Access is strictly limited to what **your account** can normally see * No unsolicited actions — Blockbrain only acts when you ask it to * All access is logged in your **organization's audit trail** *** ### Troubleshooting **"I can't find my team or message"** * Check if you can see it directly in Microsoft Teams * Try different search terms (e.g., part of the team name or channel) * The item might be in a team or chat you don't have access to **"Permission denied" errors** * Your Teams permissions may have changed * Contact your IT team to verify your access rights * Try reconnecting: click **Configure** → **Connect** again **"No Teams found"** * You might not be a member of any Teams yet * Check with your administrator about Teams licensing * Make sure you're signed in with the correct Microsoft account *** ### Common Use Cases #### 🗂️ Team & Channel Management * Quickly list all your teams and channels * Find out who's in a specific team or channel * Get user details for collaboration #### 📋 Conversation & Meeting Analysis * Summarize long chat threads or channel discussions * Extract action items or decisions from meeting transcripts * Search for specific messages or mentions across channels #### 📁 File & Resource Access * Locate files shared in Teams or channels * Get links or details for important documents * Browse channel folders for project resources *** ### What's Next?
