Authorise KomboAI in Microsoft Teams

πŸ” Grant Access to KomboAI in Microsoft Teams (Admin Consent Setup)

A
Written by Ale Pintaudi

To allow your team to sync Microsoft Teams calls and meetings into Kombo, you need to authorise the KomboAI app and grant admin consent in your Microsoft 365 tenant.

This is a one-time admin setup that ensures:

  • βœ… All users can connect their Teams account to Kombo

  • πŸ”„ Call recordings, transcripts, and meeting data sync properly

  • πŸ” Access is secure and centrally controlled via Microsoft Entra ID


πŸ”Ή Step 1: Sign in as a Microsoft 365 Global Admin

Admin consent is required, so you must be signed in with an account that has one of the following roles:

  • Global Administrator

  • Cloud Application Administrator, or

  • Application Administrator

If you do not have these permissions, forward this guide to your IT admin.


πŸ”Ή Step 2: Start the KomboAI Authorisation Flow

In Kombo:

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Integrations

  2. Locate Microsoft Teams

  3. Click Connect

You will be redirected to a Microsoft sign-in page.


πŸ”Ή Step 3: Review and Accept the Permissions Request

After signing in, Microsoft will display an Admin consent screen listing the permissions KomboAI needs. Typical scopes requested for call and meeting sync include:

  • OnlineMeetings.Read.All β€” Read scheduled meetings and join info

  • CallRecords.Read.All β€” Read call history and metadata

  • OnlineMeetingTranscript.Read.All β€” Access meeting transcripts

  • OnlineMeetingRecording.Read.All β€” Access meeting recordings

  • User.Read.All β€” Match participants to Kombo users

  • offline_access β€” Keep the connection active without asking users to re-authenticate constantly

  • openid / profile β€” Basic sign-in

Check the option "Consent on behalf of your organization", then click Accept.

What this does:

  • Grants KomboAI tenant-wide access via OAuth

  • Allows every user in your org to connect without individual admin pop-ups

  • Enables Microsoft Graph communication between Kombo and Teams


πŸ”Ή Step 4: Verify the App in Microsoft Entra ID

To confirm the app was registered correctly:

  1. Go to portal.azure.com β†’ Microsoft Entra ID β†’ Enterprise applications

  2. Search for KomboAI

  3. Open the app and confirm:

    • Enabled for users to sign-in is set to Yes

    • Under Permissions, the scopes listed in Step 3 show Granted for KomboAI

If your organisation uses User assignment required, make sure to assign the relevant users or groups under Users and groups.


πŸ”Ή Step 5: (Optional) Approve the KomboAI Teams App in the Teams Admin Center

If KomboAI also provides a Teams app (for example, to capture calls directly from the Teams client):

  1. Go to admin.teams.microsoft.com β†’ Teams apps β†’ Manage apps

  2. Search for KomboAI

  3. Set status to Allowed

  4. Optionally, add it to an App setup policy so it appears automatically for your users


πŸ”Ή Step 6: Confirm Access for Users

Once authorised:

  • Users can connect Teams to Kombo from their profile settings

  • Registered calls and meetings will start syncing to Kombo automatically

  • No further admin action is required per user


πŸŽ‰ Done!

You have successfully:

  • Authorised the KomboAI application in your Microsoft 365 tenant

  • Granted admin consent for the required Graph permissions

  • Enabled your team to sync Teams calls into Kombo


πŸ› οΈ Troubleshooting

"Need admin approval" error when users try to connect? βœ” Confirm Step 3 was completed with "Consent on behalf of your organization" ticked βœ” Re-run the admin consent flow from Kombo

Calls or transcripts not appearing in Kombo? βœ” Verify CallRecords.Read.All and OnlineMeetingTranscript.Read.All are granted in Entra ID βœ” Ensure the meetings were recorded and/or transcribed in Teams β€” Kombo can only pull what Teams stores βœ” Check that the meeting organiser's tenant allows external app access to recordings

Some users can't connect? βœ” If User assignment required = Yes, add them under Users and groups βœ” Confirm they have a Teams license

App not visible in Enterprise applications? βœ” The admin consent flow may not have completed β€” repeat Step 2 and Step 3
