Adding Apps to Yammer/Viva Engage communities via Microsoft 365 Connectors is no longer supported

Originally posted by Microsoft Aug 1, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Starting September 11, 2023, adding Microsoft 365 Apps to Yammer/Viva Engage communities via Microsoft 365 connectors will no longer be supported.  This functionality was limited to classic Yammer only and was not implemented in new Yammer. 

How this will affect your organization:

• If you have any connectors added to your existing communities, they will stop working on September 11, 2023. 
• Users and administrators will no longer receive updates in communities from previously configured connectors.
• There is no message loss expected – all past connector card messages will default to regular system messages.
• Users and administrators will not be able to add new connectors to the communities in their network.

What you need to do to prepare:

If you are actively using a connector on a community, consider replacing your connector usage with one of these options: 

• Viva Engage connectors in Power Automate which are configured outside the community.
• Custom code using the Viva Engage (Yammer) REST API.-us/rest/api/yammer/rest-api-rate-limits.
