Troubleshoot Microsoft Teams for Employee Service (ITSM)
When someone reports a Microsoft Teams for Employee Service failure — can't log in, a tab won't load, the feature isn't showing, the Agentforce agent won't reply, swarming or SSO is broken — this skill connects to the org, runs the pass/fail checklist for that specific problem, and reports each setting's actual value plus the exact Setup path to fix any that are wrong. It replaces "check every setting by hand" with a targeted, verified diagnosis.
Every read dispatches through headless-360 (dispatch_readonly for queries, dispatch only for the optional swarming-token clear). No org password is needed.
Scope
- In scope: Diagnosing an already-attempted Teams ITSM setup that is failing. Routing the
reported symptom to the right checklist and checking the exact settings it requires (CORS, External Client App, feature toggles, PSLs, profile session settings, auth provider, named credentials, messaging channel, Agentforce agent).
- Out of scope: First-time enablement (use
service-itsm-teams-configure /
-itservice-configure / -itdesk-configure), building the embedded agent from scratch (use service-itsm-teams-employee-agent-configure), and non-Teams Salesforce debugging.
Read-only by default. Every check is a dispatch_readonly query — running the full
checklist changes nothing. The only state-changing action is the optional swarming OAuth-token
clear at the very end, and only with explicit user confirmation.
Step 1 — Identify the problem and collect inputs
Ask the user for their problem description if not already given. Match it to a checklist using the Feature Map in [references/configuration-checklists.md](references/configuration-checklists.md).
Some problems need extra inputs — ask for them up front:
| Problem type |
Extra input to collect |
| Generic "login" (no app named) |
Ask which app — IT Desk or IT Service |
| IT Desk login |
End-user's Salesforce username (the person who can't log in) |
| IT Service login |
CCP or UEL user?, then that end-user's Salesforce username |
| Agentforce not replying |
Employee Experience Site URL |
| Swarming |
End-user's username; Azure AD Tenant ID (optional — enables the Azure app check) |
| SSO |
Azure AD Tenant ID (optional); optionally which app + end-user username |
Do not run the agent-specific checks until you have the mandatory inputs for that checklist (e.g. don't skip asking for the end-user username on a login issue — the per-user checks are MANUALCHECKREQUIRED without it).
Step 2 — Route to the checklist
Pick the checklist from the Feature Map, then run its checks in order from [references/configuration-checklists.md](references/configuration-checklists.md):
| Symptom |
Checklist |
| IT Desk login |
LOGIN_DESK |
| IT Service login — UEL user |
LOGINSERVICEUEL |
| IT Service login — CCP user |
LOGINSERVICECCP |
| Generic login (app unknown) |
LOGIN (then ask which app) |
| Feature not showing / not enabled |
MSTEAMS_CORE |
| Tab won't load (CI Hub, Service Catalog, Employee Enablement, My Assets) |
TAB_LOADING |
| Lightning app not embedding / blank tab |
LIGHTNING_OUT |
| Agentforce agent not replying |
AGENTFORCE |
| Swarming |
SWARMING |
| Single Sign-On |
SSO (+ the app-specific login checklist if an app is named) |
When an app is named for an SSO issue, run both the SSO checklist and the matching login checklist (LOGINDESK / LOGINSERVICECCP / LOGINSERVICE_UEL) — skip duplicate checks.
Step 3 — Run the checks
Execute each check's query via dispatch_readonly (queries and API fields are spelled out in the reference). Record for each check: a status and the configured value actually read from the org.
| Status |
Render as |
Meaning |
OK |
OK |
Correctly configured |
MISCONFIGURED / MISSING / DISABLED / ERROR |
FAIL |
Needs fixing — include the exact Setup path from the reference |
MANUALCHECKREQUIRED |
MANUAL |
Needs manual verification (or a missing optional input like Tenant ID/username) — never render this as FAIL |
Step 4 — Report
Render a table with all four columns — #, Check, Status, Configured Value (never omit the configured value), plus an Action Required note carrying the remediation for any failed check. End with a one-line summary: N passed | N failed | N require manual verification.
- All passed: tell the user the Salesforce backend is correctly configured; if the problem
persists, reload the Teams app (⋯ on the IT Desk/IT Service app → Reload app).
- Any failed: don't add the reload note — the per-check
Action Required steps are the fix.

Gotchas (verified)
| Issue |
Detail |
The Teams ECA DeveloperName is ServiceCloudTeamsEca |
The External Client App the login checks look for is ServiceCloudTeamsEca. (A per-org packaged instance may surface under a related name such as ServiceCloudMSTeamsEca; match on the ECA that backs the Teams login, and treat a missing app as "turn the feature off and on again.") |
| "Allow OAuth for employees" is Metadata-API-only for reading, and Setup-UI-only to change |
Read via SOAP listMetadata(ProfileSessionSetting) → readMetadata on the fullName containing unified; field allowOauthForEmployees (true=enabled, false=disabled, absent=never configured). It is not on Profile describe and not REST/Tooling-queryable. To set it, use Setup → Profiles → (employee profile) → Session Settings. UEL users only. |
CORS check reads IsOauthCorsPolicyEnabled, allowed origins read CorsWhitelistEntry.UrlPattern |
Both https://cdn.scs.static.lightning.force.com and https://teams.cloud.microsoft must be present. |
| Feature toggles are read via the FulfillerApp permissions Connect API |
GET /connect/it-service/permissions/FulfillerApp returns the org/user feature flags; a FUNCTIONALITYNOTENABLED error means the IServiceItsmTeamsFamily family is off at the org level. |
| Agentforce user-verification fields need SOAP v62+ |
MessagingChannel.embeddedConfig (authMode, messagingAuthorizations.*) is silently omitted by SOAP v60 — use v62+. |
| Version prefix required |
headless-360 dispatch/dispatch_readonly don't resolve API versions — always pass the full /services/data/vXX.0/... prefix. |
