Integrate Goodness Capabilities into Microsoft Teams

Benevity is a global leader in workplace giving and volunteering solutions. Benevity’s flagship product “Spark” is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application which allows users to access a catalog of “goodness content”, which consists of giving and volunteering opportunities associated with registered charitable organizations. One of the ongoing challenges Benevity faces, as do many content platforms, is encouraging users to return to the platform to engage with the content. One strategy is to “push the content to where the users are”. For Benevity, this means exposing content from our platform via APIs so that they can be discovered from within third-party applications where users are spending their time, such as collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams and Slack. For this project, we will build an integration with Microsoft Teams to allow users to discover and interact with the catalog of Benevity’s goodness content. The expected outcome is increased user participation and engagement in the company’s workplace giving and volunteering program.
