Permissions 
  1. Permissions to install/configure tabs are set on the Microsoft Teams side. Please reach out to your Teams admin to install/configure Bigin tabs.

Bigin tabs in Teams 

The Bigin tab in Microsoft Teams provides users with access to their Bigin pipelines. Users simply add the Bigin app to Teams and sign into their Bigin account, and can then access the records in their Bigin pipelines without having to open a separate browser tab to view and manage them. Users can also search for a record in Bigin and share it in the chat section of Teams.

The Bigin app can be added to Teams in two ways:
  1. Personal tab: Users can add the Bigin app to their Teams account on the left panel. This tab will be visible only to the user; their team members can't view this tab.
  2. Channel Tab: Users can add the Bigin app as a tab to any of their Team Channels so that all the users in the channel can view and access the Bigin pipeline, provided that they are all active users in the Bigin account.
Actions that can be performed via the Bigin tab:
  1. Create new record in the pipeline
  2. Edit existing records in the pipeline
  3. Switch between pipelines
  4. Drag and drop records between the pipeline stages
  5. Sort records in the pipeline
  6. Switch between existing views
  7. View open activities
  8. Customize columns
