But who remembers to record the meeting? Who then wants to convert the recording, upload it, send it out, and make sure everyone has access to it? Even if you can or want to do all of that, the recording file might be too big to attach to an email or people have to log in or fill out a form on the virtual meeting product website to view the recording. All of this friction goes away with the new BlueJeans integration with Workplace.
Now, you can host a meeting on BlueJeans and stream it live to a specific group in Workplace. Not only can members of that group watch the meeting live, even though they were not involved in the meeting or people who should have been in the meeting can watch the recording of the meeting, which is automatically saved to the Workplace group.
There are two new categories of compliance integrations that many organizations have been waiting for. First is an integration with cloud access security brokers CASB. Organizations can now integrate with service providers to:. Workplace has released new APIs built on Webhooks so you can for example get notified:. And the final announcement from F8 is the ability for organizations to create their own custom integrations with other enterprise software.
Also part of the custom integrations announcement is the ability for people to create customer bots. Chat bots in Workplace are based on the Messenger bot platform. In fact, according to Simon Cross of the Workplace team, "You can take the sample app from our developer website, the messenger sample app, and point it at Workplace's APIs Group bots are built specifically for Workplace.
A Group Bot can post in a group, comment, and like posts. People can also mention the bot to make requests. For example, an "IT Help desk" bot can create a ticket from a Workplace post. To help organizations create their own bots, Workplace has announced support for the following Bot platforms: This article shows you only the beginning of what is possible in Workplace.
In this course, you will learn what is possible in the Workplace integration function, and you will create an early draft of a plan to create your own custom integrations. Individuals can sign up for the public, virtual course or teams can take a private version of the course. Contact us to learn more and go to the course page to learn more about the course and register.

I will summarize each in this blog. Document sharing Working on a document with a team is a major pain point in organizations. OneDrive Office Box Salesforce Quip Salesforce is not strictly a document service, of course, but the principle is the same in that now you can share a link to a Salesforce Opportunity, for example, and a rich preview will show up in the Workplace group. This is a big win for many organizations. Video meetings One major friction point in organizations is how to update people who missed meetings.
And there are no limit to the number of videos or the size of the video files. Security and Compliance There are two new categories of compliance integrations that many organizations have been waiting for.
Organizations can now integrate with service providers to: This should open a message pane with your Page. Receiving Messages We handle incoming messages starting on line 24 inside app. In step 4, we told Facebook what message types we want our webhook to be notified about. Sending Messages In order to send a simple text message, you only need two things:. There are many more complex message types you can send, including messages with images and buttons. More information on those message types here.
These are essentially buttons that, when tapped by a user, send a postback messaging event to your webhook. You could use this for placing an order, confirming a request or lots of other things. Whenever a user taps a postback button, your webhook is notified and can perform any sort of subsequent follow-up action necessary.
You have to go through a review process before your bot is open to the world, ready to chat with anyone. Facebook seems to be very thorough in their review process, and with good reason. The code for a messaging bot runs on your own servers and could change at any time, without Facebook knowing. Go back to your Messenger App Settings page that we used in Step 4. On this page, you can also ask to be granted extra information about users, like their email or profile information.
Then it all goes to the Facebook review team to sign off and give you full access to the Messenger platform. More information about the approval process here.
