How Certifier integrates with Microsoft Teams
Certifier syncs with Microsoft Teams via Zapier. When you manage courses or events in dedicated workspaces, Zapier detects new members or channels and forwards this information to Certifier. Then, Certifier generates and emails personalized certificates, badges, or credentials to the selected group.
You start from an easy-to-edit Certifier template and design unique certificates for attendance or training completion. Then, you map Teams data fields to Certifier’s dynamic attributes and automate issuance for all new participants.

Setup steps
- 1
Create a new Zap and select Microsoft Teams as your trigger app.

- 3
Connect your Microsoft Teams account, then select the specific team you want Zapier to monitor.
- 4
Add Certifier as the action app, connect your account, and choose an event—like Create Group (for new channels) or Issue Credential (for new members).
- 5
Select your Certifier group or credential template, then map the required fields across apps (e.g., Member Name or Channel Name).
- 6
Test the Zap with a sample channel, confirm the output, and publish the workflow.
Key benefits
Effortless automation
Certifier supports separate white-label templates and emails to automate distinct cohort certificates without additional overhead.
Secure, verifiable credentials
Each credential has a UUID-linked page, which displays the issuer name, issue date, and certificate status to prove authenticity.
Activity analytics
The app tracks when recipients open, download, or share their certificate or badge online, giving you a record of program reach.

Frequently asked questions
No, Certifier cannot read or access your private chats, shared files, or confidential company data. The integration relies solely on specific data fields like participant names and email addresses that you explicitly map in Zapier.
No, the integration only triggers credentials for new members added after activation. Zapier monitors real-time workspace updates to capture live data rather than retroactively scanning historical data.
To credit your current roster, you can easily export their data into a CSV file and run a fast bulk-issuance on Certifier.
Yes, you can edit and update recipient details or certificate designs at any time after issuance. You make the corrections directly through Certifier’s dashboard, and the live digital credential page refreshes automatically without using additional yearly certificate credits.
Once generated, the credentials are stored within Certifier's secure cloud database, separate from your connected workspace. Even if someone deletes a team or channel, any previously issued certificates remain fully active, valid, and accessible for your recipients.
Yes, Certifier for Enterprises provides native Microsoft Entra ID support for single sign-ons.
The platform connects with the enterprise identity manager via standard SAML 2.0 protocol configurations, which your workspace administrator can configure in minutes to grant your management teams instant access with existing corporate credentials.
No, connecting Microsoft Teams to Certifier is generally straightforward. The setup requires no coding and takes just a few clicks through visual automation builders like Zapier, although a Certifier integration via API is also available for more developer-heavy workflows.
If you need any assistance during setup, you can contact Certifier support or book a live demo call.
