Microsoft Teams: Activity feed improvements for centrally published urgent tasks

We’re improving visibility for when a time-sensitive urgent task is published to a team. When an organization publishes a task with a priority set to “Urgent”, each member or owner of the team that receives this task will receive a notification in the Activity feed informing them that an urgent task was published to their team.

Task publishing: Teams activity feed items for all team members/owners when an urgent task is published to their team

What’s changing: In response to numerous customer requests, we’re improving visibility when an urgent task is published to a Microsoft team. After this feature is rolled out, when an organization uses the task publishing feature to publish a task with a priority set to Urgent, each member or owner of the team that receives this task will receive a Teams activity feed informing them that an urgent task was published to their team. This will ensure greater visibility for the time-sensitive urgent tasks, such as product recalls that need to be acted upon at multiple locations as soon as possible. This will not affect when a user creates an urgent task in the Tasks app for their own team. This change in notification activity is specific to the special task publishing functionality which must be enabled by an admin.

What is task publishing: The task publishing feature is designed for frontline organizations that need work to be completed across distinct locations (such as stores, clinics, factories, branches). Task publishing allows business leaders to centrally define a set of tasks to be completed and distribute a copy of those tasks to tens, hundreds, or thousands of teams across your organization. Frontline organizations can also monitor the status of the work during execution. Visit the task publishing documentation to see a video overview of the feature. You can also view the instructions to set up task publishing for more information.

Microsoft 365 admin center: Bring your own domain to use for Microsoft 365 product emails

Email notifications from products within Microsoft 365 are sent out to users in various ways. In many cases the emails are sent out from the user but there are system emails, like alerts, batched, or digest emails. These are sent from various product-specific no-reply email addresses, like no-reply@sharepointonline.com, no-reply@planner.com, no-reply@project.com.

Opting into this change means that administrators can select a verified domain to use for these emails. All products and features mentioned in the supported products link provided below can utilize this feature across Microsoft 365 and the support article will be updated as products onboard to utilize the setting. Emails will be routed to your Exchange Online instance within your tenant and the emails will then be sent out to your users from your tenant.
