How do we create an app in TEAMS that will display a Nintex Start Event form? We have an app we built 4-5 years ago that is a custom form that creates a TEAM when an employee fills it out.
We want to replace it using Nintex form and workflow to create new MS Teams. Please help with any suggestions in making this happen, thanks!
No. An app in teams application, not through a tab in a team.
I provided a screenshot of where apps are located in the teams app.
Hi
it is possible to build an app for teams that makes use of Nintex forms, it is also possible to build an app that serves as a chat bot to also make actions in Nintex, internally we have some similar bots and apps but they do require use of code to build.
First I would start out by understanding the Nintex API, if all you want to do is display a start form this is actually easy but for more complex actions like task responses or displaying workflow data you’ll need to understand the API.
then this guide explains how you can use the teams toolkit in vs code to develop a teams app.

you will need a level of coding knowledge but in the modern days of ChatGPT you’d be surprised what you can achieve.
You will also need the permissions to deploy said app to your environment.
I am afraid I cannot assist you directly any further than in an advisory manner for accountability reasons, I do hope you can understand that.
Best regards
this is also a handy reference when you are looking at teams apps.

I’m not an exper at creating these but have seen some others that have been generated for us by intranet applications.
Check out the statictabs section for displaying a webpage.
In addition of all other responses, you should create an Team App that show your NAC form with an iframe. I think it’s the more simply solution and this app could be added to all your employee.
Have a look at this tutorial : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/sbs-gs-javascript (this tuto is for JavaScript, but you can have other language like C# or SPFx).
