Click Next.

Once the user is created, return to Crosschq to complete the App Settings configuration.

Platform Notifications

Next, assign a MS Teams channel to receive the platform notifications. Start typing into the field, and results will be auto-suggested.
360 notifications
Receive notifications when a reference request changes its status.
Click the toggle switch so that it turns green to activate these notifications. Afterward, navigate to Organization Settings > Request Settings to configure your 360 notifications.

For each event, a direct message can be delivered to the Requestor and/or the Hiring Manager of the 360 request.
Enabling MS Teams for Crosschq Recruit

Within the alert settings, select the MS Teams option and type the channel in which you want to receive notifications.
When typing the channel, a send icon will show up. 
Finally, all of your Crosschq Recruit alerts will appear in your MS Teams channel so you can act quickly on potential new talent. Recruit alerts will look like this:
360 report sharing
Once the MS Teams integration is connected, you will also have the ability to share completed Crosschq 360 reports to individual MS Teams users.
From a Crosschq report, click on the Share button.
A new window will appear. Toggle to the MS Teams tab, and under the Share via MS Teams field, enter a MS Teams user in your org.
The recipient will be added to the list of users who can access the report.
Afterward, click Share Report to trigger a MS Teams notification to the user.
Insights dashboard and chart distribution
The MS Teams integration allows you to send dashboards and charts as images to other MS Teams users.
From either a dashboard or an individual chart, you can click the Share button and select the Send a Copy option.
Afterward, a pop up will appear where you can toggle to a MS Teams tab to enter a MS Teams user to receive this content. A dashboard will be sent as a PDF, and a chart will be sent as a PNG.
