Zoho Assist to Microsoft Teams Remote Session Visibility
Remote session start, duration, technician and completion events reach the support channel in Microsoft Teams, and unattended access requires an approval action before a technician can connect.
Connecting to somebody else's machine is a privileged act, and in most support teams it is the least governed thing they do. The tooling records that a session took place; the organisation finds out if someone goes looking.
Without this integration, unattended access is the sharp edge of that. A technician connects to a device with no one present, on their own judgement, and the only record is in a log that is read during an audit rather than at the time. Meanwhile the routine sessions are equally invisible, so nobody can see who is connected to what while it is happening.
With the integration running, session start, duration, technician and completion events are posted into the support channel in Microsoft Teams, giving the team a live picture. Unattended access requests are held for an approval action in the channel, so the decision is made by a person, before the connection, and in a place the organisation can see.

Why deploy this use case
Unattended access is approved by a person before the connection rather than reviewed in a log afterwards.
Start, technician and device appear in the Microsoft Teams support channel while the session is running, not after.
An unusually long session is apparent in the channel, so it can be asked about while it is still going on.
Session end is posted too, so the channel distinguishes what is live from what is finished.
Access activity sits in the channel the organisation already uses rather than in a console only administrators open.
Which people can grant an unattended access request is configured to match how your team delegates that authority.

Questions teams ask
How do I integrate Zoho Assist with Microsoft Teams?
IntelliPaaS connects Zoho Assist and Microsoft Teams through a prebuilt Integration Pack, with no custom development required. Session events post to your support channel and unattended access requests wait on an approval action. Connect both accounts, confirm which events post and it runs.
How does the Zoho Assist to Microsoft Teams Remote Session Visibility integration work?
The pack is a prebuilt IntelliPaaS workflow between Zoho Assist and Microsoft Teams. Session start, duration, technician and completion events are posted to the support channel as they occur, and a request for unattended access is posted with an approval action that must be granted before the technician connects.
Does the Zoho Assist to Microsoft Teams notification happen in real time?
Yes. The agent runs on every qualifying Zoho Assist session event, so the channel reflects what is happening within moments rather than waiting for an overnight batch. That immediacy is what makes the approval step usable, since a technician is waiting on it.
What's included in the Zoho Assist Microsoft Teams Remote Session Visibility Integration Pack?
The pack covers the Zoho Assist session start, duration, technician and completion events, the Microsoft Teams posting action into your support channel, and the approval action that gates unattended access requests. The full use-case list and the step-by-step flow are set out on this page.
Do I need a developer to set up the Zoho Assist Microsoft Teams integration?
There is no code to write. IntelliPaaS Integration Packs arrive with the trigger, the agent logic and the actions already in place, and the Zoho Assist to Microsoft Teams flow is configured from the IntelliPaaS dashboard. Connect both accounts, choose which events post and your support team can run it from there.
How much does the Zoho Assist Microsoft Teams integration cost?
The Zoho Assist to Microsoft Teams Remote Session Visibility Integration Pack is priced per month, and the current rate is shown on this page. Full plan details and what each tier includes are on the IntelliPaaS pricing page.
Can I choose which session events post and who approves?
Yes. The Zoho Assist to Microsoft Teams field mapping is editable end to end, and conditions, filters and transformations of your own can be added inside the Integration Pack. Most teams choose which events are posted, which channel receives them and who may approve an unattended access request.
What happens if a Zoho Assist to Microsoft Teams notification fails?
No record is dropped without trace. A failed run is retried automatically, and anything unresolved after that is held in a review queue with the full error trace attached. Your team is alerted and can replay the record once the underlying cause is fixed.
