We have purchased the Full Calendar with Event Scheduling plug in from the Appmarket but are unfamiliar with how to get it installed on our cloud instances.  We reached out to Appian support and they informed us that: It's possible that the functionality offered by Vuram includes some additional installations or scripting, but in terms of what would be expected from Appian Support in order to install a plug-in on the server I see the offering (Assuming it is this: community.appian.com/.../full-calendar-with-event-scheduling or this: community.appian.com/.../full-calendar-with-event-scheduling-12-week-view) is a component plug-in, so we would expect a file named something like "full-calendar-with-event-scheduling-2.0.2.zip-signed" Has anyone installed this or similar plugin that might be able to provide some guidance.  The zip file from the plugin web site contains several folders that contain java script files. Thank you

We have requirement where schedule activity has to save the excel document into folder or sharepoint from where User can refer any time in future. This is big file and need to run Quarterly so doesn't want to be into Appian forever. While following the steps mentioned in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azureacs#setting-up-an-app-only-principal-with-tenant-permissions to generate clinet id etc. I am getting a message that Tenant Admin has to approve the permission. Now while going thru share point offering in our organisation, seeing below- "Apps requested from the sharepoint are not supported. The interface allows requesting the Apps from share point store and send approval to share point admins, since it is not supported feature, request  will not be consideredor approved" Does that mean we can't do Appian + Sharepoint integration in our organisation? We use SPOL(Sharepoint Online)

have created the teams chat via integration, so have added the details like tenant id, client id, client secret under connected systems, and then used it under integration and created the new group chat, and i was trying to add users under user info, but when i tried to add, its not working, chat group is created but users are not being added, so can you please let me know, how to add users via integration to the newly created chat group. adding users under user info- { { userName:"abc@yexle.com", role:"guest", }, { userName:"xyz@yexle.com", role:"guest", }, }
