Installation & Setup
When installing the DataCamp MS Teams bot, you'll first choose the team you want to install it in, and also a channel that will be used by the bot to post its general notifications such as content updates.
Installing the bot in Teams
To fully unlock all of the bot's features, you'll want to link your DataCamp group. This must be done by a DataCamp group admin.
The person that installed the bot in Teams will have received a welcome message by the bot with a "Link your DataCamp group" button. If this person is a DataCamp group admin, they should click on this button and start linking their group.
Personal welcome message
In case the person that installed the bot was not a DataCamp group admin, no worries: the DataCamp group admin can still request this button for themselves by using the "Link group" command in the Teams channel where the bot is located.

Clicking this button will open an external link to DataCamp where they'll have to authenticate, after which they'll be able to select a group to link.

After successfully linking the group, you (and the channel) will receive a success message on Teams notifying you that the group linking was completed successfully. You're good to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
I want to change the channel where the bot posts notifications - how can I do that?
Currently, the only way to change the channel is by reinstalling the bot, and selecting a new channel during installation. You will have to link the bot to your group again after you do this (if it was already linked to a group beforehand).
To reinstall the bot:
- Right click on the Team where the bot is currently installed, and click on "Manage team"
- In the Apps tab, find the DataCamp app, click on the three dots and then "Remove"
- After that, install the bot once again by finding DataCamp in the Apps module and clicking "Add to team"
- When prompted to enter a team or channel name, type in the new channel, and finally click "Set up a bot"
- Link the bot to your group (see section above)
- Done! The bot will now post announcements in your new channel.
