Manage approvals from Microsoft Teams

Manage Concur expense approvals using Virtual Agent actionable notifications in Microsoft Teams to resolve the approval directly in the Virtual Agent conversation without involving a live agent.

  • Install the Approvals hub integration with the SAP Concur (sn_ex_cnc) plugin.

For more information on receiving notifications, see Conversational Integration with Microsoft Teams and Enable Virtual Agent notifications. For more information on Virtual Agent, see Virtual Agent.
