Beta. This feature is being rolled out gradually, so it may not be turned on for your workspace yet, and details may change. To request access, ask your Parker admin or contact support.
Settings > Channels lets your team talk to Parker outside the app, in Teams or from their phone. Parker uses the same knowledge, memories, and rules in every channel.

What do admins set up, and what does each person do?

Connect Microsoft Teams

Admins only. Only workspace admins can change these settings. If you’re not an admin, you can still see them, but you can’t edit them.

Before you begin

  • You need the admin role in Parker.
  • You need access to your Microsoft Entra admin center and Teams admin center, or someone on your IT team who has it.

Find your tenant ID

In the Microsoft Entra admin center, go to Overview and copy your tenant ID.
2

Connect the tenant in Parker

Go to Settings > Channels. In the Teams tenant card, paste the ID into Microsoft 365 tenant ID and select Connect tenant.

Messages from any other tenant are dropped before Parker looks at who sent them.

How do Messages and WhatsApp work?

Your workspace has its own Parker number. Each person links their own mobile number under Settings > Channels > Link your phone:
  1. Select Messages or WhatsApp.
  2. Enter your mobile number in international format, with + and the country code.
  3. Select Link Messages or Link WhatsApp.
Messages uses iMessage or RCS when available, with SMS/MMS fallback. In WhatsApp, charts and tables arrive as pictures, and exports as files. Parker keeps the same workspace permissions and approval flow it uses everywhere else.
Link your phone card with Messages and WhatsApp tabs, the organization's Parker number, a mobile number field, and Link Messages.
