Rootie for Microsoft Teams

Rootie delivers your learning-program reminders as personal Teams messages, with one tap to open the program, already signed in.

What the app does

Sends personal reminders when a program starts, when new questions are ready, and before exams or league days.
Each message has an Open program button that opens Rootie signed in, on the right program.
It is notification-only: it does not read chats, channel messages, files, meetings or calendars.

Your organisation must use Rootie and have the Teams channel turned on.
Install Rootie from the Teams app store, or wait for your administrator to install it for you.
The bot replies once to confirm your account is linked. Reminders follow when your programs send them.

To stop messages, uninstall the app in Teams. See Support if messages do not arrive.

In the Rootie admin panel, open Settings → Shop, turn on Microsoft Teams and enter your Microsoft Entra tenant ID.
Optionally choose Grant consent with Microsoft to let Rootie install the app for your employees and match them by e-mail.
In the Teams admin center, allow the Rootie app, or deploy it to everyone with an app setup policy.

Learners are matched to Rootie accounts by their work e-mail. The admin panel lists who can currently be reached in Teams.
