Vault App on Microsoft Teams
(Proof of Concept)

Access Autodesk Vault directly from Microsoft Teams

– no CAD, no client, no friction

Today, valuable design data in Autodesk Vault is locked behind engineering tools or specialized clients. Non-engineers in production, purchasing, or sales often only need to find, preview, download, or share approved files – but they must wait for engineers, install heavy clients, or rely on disconnected browser tabs. This slows workflows, increases IT overhead, and keeps engineering teams busy with routine requests.

Our Teams-integrated proof of concept changes that

Direct Vault access inside Teams – sign in with Vault credentials or Autodesk ID

Preview CAD files in 2D and 3D – directly within a Teams tab

Download attachments on demand – PDFs, STEP, DXF, drawings and more

Trigger publishing jobs – such as PDF or STEP exports, orchestrated by Vault’s Job Processor

Customize to your needs – tailor navigation, search logic, and even integrate ERP, PLM, or MES data

Choose your individual Vault Gateway

Submit Publishing Jobs

View your assemblies and drawing within Teams - like you're viewing it in CAD

Unlike Autodesk’s Thin/Web Client, which runs in a separate browser window and offers limited customization, our Teams app brings Vault right into the collaboration hub your people already use. It’s secure, fully extensible, and built on the Vault Data API, Vault Gateway, and Job Processor.

The result:
Faster access, fewer dependencies on engineering, and a seamless experience for everyone who needs Vault data to get their job done.
