Use Alfy in Microsoft Teams

In Microsoft Teams, you talk to Alfy with two text commands: settings opens your personal settings and help explains how Alfy works. In a channel, mention Alfy first, for example @Alfy settings.

Open your settings#

Type settings to Alfy, then click ⚙️ Open settings.

The Alfy Settings dialog opens. Everything in it is private to you.

From there you can:

• See your programs: group size, schedule and next date, under ▶️ Programs.
• Snooze a program: click 💤 Snooze, pick a date under Snooze until and click Confirm. See snooze a program.
• Opt out of a program: click 🚫 Opt out and confirm. See opt out of a program.
• See your latest connections, under 🔄 Latest Connections.
• Connect your calendar: click 📅 Connect calendar, or 📅 Edit Calendar Settings once it's connected. See connect your calendar.
• Browse conversation starters with ☕️ Conversation starters.

Alfy admins also see a summary of every program and an Open dashboard ↗ button, plus a 🚀 Create a program button while a channel or group chat Alfy is in still has no program. Programs are managed in the web dashboard.

Get help#

Type help (or anything Alfy doesn't recognize) to get a card that explains how Alfy works, lists the commands and has ⚙️ Open settings and ☕️ Conversation starters buttons.

Use the buttons on a round's post#

Each round, Alfy posts the list of groups in the channel or group chat. The post has two buttons:

• 📅 Schedule your chat: pick a time with your group. Only shown when the program coordinates scheduling. See schedule your chat in Microsoft Teams.
• ☕️ Conversation starters: get 5 ice-breaker questions. Click 🔄 Shuffle for new ones.

Alfy only posts matches in the channel or group chat: it doesn't start a separate chat for each group or send scheduling reminders.
