Deploy n8n agents that show up as members of the team inside Microsoft apps

With the general availability of Microsoft Agent 365, n8n users can now build AI agents that show up inside the Microsoft 365 applications where people get work done. Now you can @mention agents built in n8n from Microsoft Teams, add them to emails in Outlook, or tag them in Word to bring them into your work. Microsoft Agent 365 gives each agent its own Entra ID, so employees can grant it access to Microsoft 365 services like SharePoint and Teams channels the same way they would a teammate. Microsoft handles identity, access policies, and compliance through Purview and Defender. Agent 365 also handles agent lifecycle management actions, rules and policies, analytics in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center; providing an effective and scalable way to control agents at scale through familiar tools. The n8n canvas is where you design what the agent actually does: its system prompt, its connections to third-party tools, the logic that ties them together, and the actions it takes. When someone messages the agent in Teams, n8n orchestrates the work across whatever systems are needed and returns the result right back into the conversation. Microsoft 365 is where so much of daily work happens. With Agent 365, n8n users can build agents that don't just automate in the background, they participate directly in that work. And for Microsoft developers, n8n gives them a visual builder and over a thousand native integrations to connect agents to the rest of their tech stack. — Ben Kiziltug, Vice President, n8n This builds on the collaboration announced at Ignite in November 2025. With Agent 365 now generally available, the full capabilities are accessible to any organization with a Microsoft 365 tenant and n8n. n8n is available at the Microsoft Marketplace for teams that want to deploy within their Azure environment. That means governed access to Agent 365's MCP tools directly from the n8n canvas, and the ability to deploy agents that show up as members of the team inside Microsoft apps. We're happy to welcome n8n to the Agent 365 ecosystem. With Agent 365, partners like n8n can bring agents directly into the flow of work across Microsoft 365. It gives developers a secure, governed way to build agents that show up where people already collaborate, communicate, and create. — Srini Raghavan, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Copilot & Agents Ecosystem at Microsoft Corp. Learn how to build an agent in n8n using the Microsoft Agent 365 Trigger node, connect it to the tools your team relies on, and put it to work inside Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Word, and SharePoint. Live demo and Q&A. What you can build Consider a customer support lead who starts each morning checking Zendesk for overnight escalations, pulling account context from Salesforce, reviewing PagerDuty for any open infrastructure issues that might affect customers, and then manually posting a summary in Teams and following up in email with the account team. With an n8n-powered Agent 365 agent, she @mentions the agent in a Teams channel and it handles…
