Design Pickle

The Design Pickle app for Microsoft Teams allows you to manage your design requests easily, all within your Teams workspace! Here’s a quick guide to help you get the app set up, and walk you through all the features and commands you can start using right away. Note: To acquire our Teams app, reach out to <a href="mailto:help@designpickle.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">help@designpickle.com</a>.

1. First, you will need your integration key.

To get your Integration Key, follow the steps in <a href="http://help.designpickle.com/en/articles/4180726-the-key-to-design-pickle-automation-your-integration-key">this guide,</a> specifically the section 'Where Can I Find My Integration Key?'

👉 Take note of your integration key as you will use it later.

2. After installing the app, you can start using commands like “Create Request,” “Get Requests,” or “View Queue.” The first time you try to use any of these commands, the app will ask you for your Integration Key.

3. Enter your integration key (or API key) in the text field, then hit 'Submit'.

In Microsoft Teams, type “@Design Pickle,” and you'll see a popup with available prompts. Select Create Request.

After initiating the request, you’ll be prompted to choose a request type. You can search for the specific type you need by name.

Once your request type is selected, a form will appear asking for the following details:

- Request name
- Directions
- Copy
- Media links
- Sizes (multi-select dropdown)
- Formats (multi-select dropdown)

After filling out the form, click Send to my designer to submit the request. You’ll receive a confirmation message directly in the Teams channel.
