Problem:
Many organizations use Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, etc.) but do not have an Azure subscription. The current Teams integration requires:
- Azure Bot resource (requires Azure subscription)
- App registration in Azure Portal
- Complex setup with credentials and messaging endpoints
This creates a barrier for M365-only users who want to integrate OpenClaw with Teams.
Requested Feature:
Provide a simpler Teams integration path for organizations without Azure subscriptions, such as:
- OAuth-only authentication flow (similar to Google/Slack)
- Pre-configured shared bot infrastructure (OpenClaw-hosted)
- Browser-based fallback that persists authentication
Use Case:
- Company has Microsoft 365 Business/Enterprise license
- No Azure subscription or budget for Azure services
- Wants OpenClaw to monitor Teams channels and respond to mentions
- Currently must use browser automation as workaround
Alternative Workarounds Considered:
- Browser automation works but requires keeping browser open and logged in
- Azure free trial requires credit card and has limitations
- Creating Azure subscription requires IT/management approval + budget
Impact:
Would make Teams integration accessible to a much larger user base who use M365 for business but don't need full Azure services.
