Setup

Nimbus Manifest

💡When to use:

💡When to update:

  •  A manifest update is only necessary when major updates within the Nimbus App or the related access / permission concept occur. 
    💡Luware will inform you in advance and mention this on the Release Notes.
Nimbus Manifest Instant Messaging

Allows a Nimbus bot to create Adaptive Cards necessary for direct-to-user Instant Messaging task distribution via Interact.


💡When to use: This manifest is only required when you need to notify users directly via pending Instant Messaging tasks outside of the Nimbus UI or any given Team in MS Teams, using Adaptive Cards. This is part of the Use Case - Setting Up Interact in a direct “Customer to User” messaging scenario that the service workflow distribution. Instead the Nimbus bot in this manifest will establish an MS Teams group chat with the user and customer.

Tools

PowerShell

Allows to download the latest Microsoft PowerShell script. 


💡When to use: The script is required to Provision new services and confirm technical Service Settings changes made to existing services, e.g. when applying or removing PSTN licenses or updating relevant delegated permissions. 

💡When to update: The script will automatically version-check and require you to update to the latest version if necessary.

Power Automate

Allows to download the latest Nimbus Power Automate Connector for manual installation as a Custom Connector.

Recommendation: A manual Custom Connector download and installation on your Tenant is only required for testing preview or upcoming functionality. In most cases, we recommend to use the regular Nimbus Power Automate Connector you can retrieve via the MSFT store. 

 

💡When to use: When you manually want to control and update the available connector functionality, e.g. for testing purposes on your Tenant.

💡When to update: At your discretion, e.g. major connector change announcements in the Latest Release Notes.  We recommend to migrate to the store-certified connector to avoid future disruption and automatically update to certified functionality.

☝Whenever you want to switch between the installation methods (e.g. from Custom to Microsoft certified store-variant), a Connector Migration of your flows is required.
