A guide on how to get started with using Dewdropz. This covers the basic installation of Dewdropz and how to add it to your team.
Remember, you only need to install once. This will be done by the person who will be responsible for Dewdropz and not done by the participants. If you are that person, we have made the process quite straightforward.
1 - Create a team
2 - Add the bot
3 - Create an account
4 - Invite or Add your users
Please note, if your installation does not go according to plan as shown, then it could be your Microsoft Teams configuration has additional settings that preventing that. We have included more help under each step but feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] if you are stuck.
Create a new team called Social, coffeechats, or whatever name makes sense for you. Each member in this team will get matched each week. If someone no longer wants to receive matches, they can just leave the team.
In the Apps tab, search Dewdropz and add it to the team you just created. Do not add to a channel or to yourself, the bot needs to be added to the team. Then follow the Microsoft Teams instructions that you are shown.
**Update**: Due to a change in how Microsoft Teams adds apps, you may see a message that says you should add it personally for yourself to get the best experience.
You may also find that when you first add the app to a team, a pop up shows again to "Add" the app personally. You can close this window without clicking on anything since we have already added it for you in order to message you directly.
Pro tip: If you cannot find Dewdropz or cannot choose Add to Team, please speak to your IT department or Teams administrator to enable this for you/complete on your behalf. See our help file for Setup issues for more guidance
Once you added the bot, you will get a message asking you to create an account. If there is an existing account in your organisation, the bot will let you know to decide if you want to create a different one. Very important: You must complete the account creation or the app wont be "activated" for you.
Before you continue, this step is completely optional but makes the experience much better. Grant AD permissions so that your pairing messages can show the profile picture of the people getting matched. It will work without this setting but it just won't look as good.
