Glidely and Microsoft Teams
Glidely is a kanban board with team chat and a calendar built in. It does not replace Teams: it keeps the work on a board and tells your Teams channel what changed, so the people who live in Teams always know where things stand.
Card updates in a Teams channel
Connect a board to a Teams channel once, and Glidely posts there when a card is added, moved to another list or finished. In Teams, open the channel’s Workflows and choose “Post to a channel when a webhook request is received”, copy the address it gives you, then in Glidely open the board menu › Apps › Team chat alerts › Microsoft Teams and paste it. Send a test message to check it works.
Teams meetings from a card
On any card, open Microsoft 365 › Teams › Start. Glidely creates a Teams meeting with the card’s title and a link back to the board, and keeps the join link on the card. Teams meetings need a work or school Microsoft account.
Sign in with Microsoft
Choose “Continue with Microsoft” on the sign-in page and use a personal Outlook or Hotmail account, or your work or school account. If a work account shows “Need admin approval”, your IT admin can approve Glidely once for the whole organisation.
Outlook Calendar, OneDrive and To Do
- Outlook Calendar: put a card’s due date in your calendar, at its time or as an all-day event.
- OneDrive: attach a file to a card, picked from your recent files or a search.
- Microsoft To Do: send a card to your To Do list with its due date and a link back to the board.
Each one asks for your Microsoft permission the first time you use it, and works from your own browser.
Glidely or Microsoft Planner?
Planner is Microsoft’s own board app and comes with many Microsoft 365 business plans. If your whole company already lives in Microsoft 365, Planner may be all you need. Glidely suits teams that want team chat beside the board, board, table, calendar and timeline views on a free plan, one flat price instead of a price per person, or a team that mixes Microsoft and Google accounts. Glidely is not made by or affiliated with Microsoft.
