Collect & display input in Microsoft Teams with Task Modules

Learn how to create task modules for your custom Microsoft Teams app and improve your user experience with this step-by-step guide.

I work with Microsoft Learning to publish & maintain multiple self-paced learning modules related to Microsoft 365. These modules are primarily used as self-paced study resources for developers preparing to take the MS-600 exam, the only prerequisite to achieve the Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Application Developer Associate certification. This is one of those modules.

Task modules are modals that you can populate with either an Adaptive Card or an embedded web/content page for use in your custom Microsoft Teams app’s user experience for workflows that require data input. Task modules allow you to gather information in a Teams-aware popup.

In this module, you’ll learn how to create and add task modules to your Microsoft Teams app.

Learning objectives

  1. Create a task module for a tab
  2. Demonstrate how to create a task module that includes an adaptive card
  3. Create a task module for a bot
