# Microsoft Teams (Legacy)

> Send messages and approvals in Microsoft Teams, integrate Graph permissions,

## Overview

Phinite's **Microsoft Teams** predefined tool lets workspace assistants call Microsoft Teams APIs through DevStudio after you save a connection under **Integrations → Predefined tools**.

Send messages and approvals in Microsoft Teams, integrate Graph permissions,

<Note>
  Predefined tools require a saved connection before they appear in Graph Studio's tool picker. See [Predefined Tools in GraphStudio](/Graphstudio/Tools/Integrations).

<Note>
  This legacy Teams tool variant is superseded by the **Microsoft Teams** predefined tool. See [Microsoft Teams](/integrations-hub/microsoft-teams) for the recommended integration.
