Celebrate leaderboard wins in Microsoft Teams

Current can post a short, friendly note into a Microsoft Teams channel when something worth noticing happens on one of your dashboard leaderboards: someone takes the lead, or a week's top three is settled. It reads the boards you already have, so there is nothing new to build and no new numbers to trust.

• ＋Microsoft 365 connected in Current. Posts go out as one of your own connected people, so there has to be someone to post as.
• ＋Tenant Admin role — choosing the channel is an admin-only action.
• ＋At least one leaderboard tile on a dashboard. Response-time and ticket-count boards grouped by person are the usual ones.

1. 1
   Open the card

   Go to Settings, then Integrations. Celebrate in Teams sits under Workspace basics, next to Celebration style.
2. 2
   Pick a channel

   Choose Pick a channel. Current lists the Teams you are a member of, then the channels inside the one you choose.
3. 3
   Save

   If Current cannot list your Teams, it will ask you to paste the team and channel ids from the channel's Get link to channel address instead.
4. 4
   Send a test

   Choose Post a test message. A single harmless line appears in the channel so you can confirm it lands in the right place before anyone else sees it. The button rests for thirty seconds afterwards.

• ＋Someone takes the lead — when first place on a board changes hands from one day to the next.
• ＋The week's top three — on Monday, once per board, for the week that just ended.

Nobody is @mentioned. A shoutout is about someone, not aimed at them, and a mention would turn a celebration into a notification the person never asked for.

The celebration style you chose decides how it reads. Playful adds a little warmth and a single emoji; professional keeps it plain. Both say exactly the same thing about exactly the same people — see "Choosing how celebrations look".

A shoutout is a public claim about a named colleague, so Current stays quiet whenever the record cannot support that claim:

• ＋On the first day. Movement is measured against the previous day's standing, and on day one there is none. Expect the first notes a day or two after you switch it on.
• ＋When the top of a board is tied. Naming one of two people who are level would be untrue, and picking between them would be arbitrary.
• ＋When a board has fewer than three ranked people, for the weekly top three. Three is the smallest number for which a podium means what it says.
• ＋When a board is not one Current can capture. Leaderboards built from ticket counts are covered; a board you built yourself with the freeform builder is not, because Current will not re-run your query behind your back to check on it.
• ＋When a post fails and stays failed. Current retries for a couple of days, then stops. A celebration that turns up late is more confusing than one that never turns up.

Open the same card and choose Turn off. Posting stops immediately. Your dashboards, your leaderboards and your numbers are untouched — this setting only decides whether a note is sent.
