Set Up SAP BTP and SAP Leonardo
- Ensure you have access to an SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) account with permissions to use SAP Leonardo services. This may involve setting up a trial or enterprise account.
- In the SAP BTP Cockpit, navigate to your global account and choose to create a new subaccount if necessary. This is where you will integrate and manage your SAP Leonardo services.
- Once in your subaccount, enable SAP Leonardo Machine Learning Foundation and any other necessary services. This often involves going into the "Service Marketplace" and selecting the appropriate services.
Create and Deploy SAP Leonardo Services
- Develop your SAP Leonardo application. This might involve using SAP Leonardo Machine Learning APIs such as image recognition or prediction services. Test these locally, ensuring they meet your requirements.
- Use SAP Web IDE or an IDE of your choice to write and test your code. Securely deploy your application onto SAP Cloud Foundry runtime.
- Bind your application to necessary services through specific service keys. These keys will help connect your application securely with SAP Leonardo services.
Set Up Microsoft Teams
- Ensure you have a Microsoft Teams account with sufficient permissions. You may need to be an admin or have specific rights to use applications and manage app access.
- In Microsoft Teams, navigate to the Admin Center. Here, you will set up an app to integrate with external services.
- Decide the scope of your application within Microsoft Teams (personal, group chat, or team context) based on your integration requirements.
Integrate SAP Leonardo with Microsoft Teams using Power Automate
- Log into Microsoft Power Automate, found within the Microsoft 365 suite. This will be pivotal for creating workflows connecting SAP Leonardo with Microsoft Teams.
- Create a new flow. Start with a trigger that initiates when a new item is posted in Teams or when your SAP Leonardo application sends a specific webhook.
- Add actions in your flow: Use "HTTP" action to interact with SAP Leonardo's APIs. Ensure you authenticate these HTTP requests properly using the service keys generated in SAP BTP.
- Add another action to post back the response from SAP Leonardo into a Microsoft Teams channel or chat. This could involve adaptive cards or plain text messages depending on the complexity of your response.
- Test the flow end-to-end, ensuring that data is correctly passed from Microsoft Teams to SAP Leonardo and back.
Secure Your Integration
- Ensure all data transferred between SAP BTP and Microsoft Teams is over HTTPS to maintain security.
- Utilize OAuth tokens or API keys securely stored in Azure Key Vault or a similar service to authenticate requests between these platforms.
- Regularly audit your flows and applications to ensure compliance with security policies and ensure that they are updated to handle any new threats.
