Integrate Viva Goals with third party systems
Integrations allow Viva Goals to work seamlessly with third party systems to maximize efficiency and make it easy for users to engage with the system.
There are two main steps involved with setting up an integration.
Enable - This is where your Admin enables the connection between Viva Goals and the outside data source or messaging platform.
Connect - For data integrations, once the connection has been enabled, you'll need to connect the outside data source to the Key Result or Project that is to be automatically updated.
Data integrations
Connections to outside data sources such as Azure Dev Ops and Excel allow Viva Goals to pull data from these systems.
An identified data point can be used to update the progress of your Key Result metric.
Viva Goals will sync every hour with the outside data source to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information.
To manually sync with the outside data source to receive the most up-to-date figure, select that icon and choose Sync now.
Collaboration integrations
Integrations with Collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams allows users to directly interact with Viva Goals.
You can receive your reminders to check in via the collaboration platform and you're also able to update the progress of your Key Results directly from the platform.
This is called Semi-Manual check-in and eliminates the need for you to directly log into the system.
