📝 How to create a task from a chat message in Microsoft Teams ? 🚩

We have switched en masse from sending and receiving emails to chatting in Microsoft Teams. It is often a challenge to follow up messages in the chaos of the day.

Tasks in Microsoft Teams allow you to save a message for later. So you can easily keep track of all the todo's! Will you take a walk with me?
