Adding a connector
One of the highly effective features of Teams is the ability to add connectors to other applications inside a channel. Connectors let Teams communicate with an external application. So, you can do things such as manage your GitHub project from within Teams or track your team's progress within Trello.
Trello is a popular web-based Kanban-style task management application.
