Find what you need faster with Ideagen Mail Manager’s Teams Chat Filer

24 March, 2025

Microsoft Teams has become the central hub for workplace collaboration. From one-on-one conversations to detailed group discussions within channels, Teams is home to vital project information and decisions. But how often have you scrolled endlessly through old chats to find that one important message or file? It’s frustrating, inefficient and disrupts your workflow. 

 

This is where the Teams Chat Filer by Ideagen Mail Manager proves invaluable


This new feature empowers organizations by transforming the chaos of scattered chat data into a structured and easily searchable resource. Whether it’s archiving significant messages or maintaining compliance with critical records, the Teams Chat Filer (TCF) delivers a new level of organization and efficiency. Here’s how. 

 

The key benefits of Teams Chat Filer


  1. Centralized storage for chat data 

    TCF allows users to store critical communication from Microsoft Teams to SharePoint or OneDrive locations. This ensures important information is not lost in endless chat threads, but safely stored in a secure, central repository. 

  2. Effortless search and retrieval 

    With Ideagen Mail Manager’s powerful search capabilities, finding specific messages, participants, or content is a breeze. Whether you're using the Teams desktop app or browsing on the web, TCF makes it easier than ever to retrieve vital chat information quickly. 

  3. Archive that works for you 

    Save entire Teams conversations from channels to specific project folders, keeping all related chat history in one place. This makes projects more orderly and ensures nothing slips through the cracks. 

  4. Preserve attachments 

    With TCF, attachments shared in chats—contracts, designs, or anything else—can also be filed alongside your messages. You’ll always know where to find these crucial documents when you need them. 

  5. Seamless integration with Microsoft Teams 

    No need to toggle between new tools. TCF fits directly into your existing environment, saving time and preserving your workflow context.

 

Don't let disorganized chats derail your projects


Managing project correspondence has become more complex than ever. Emails and chat conversations are intertwined, with vital decisions often spread across different communication methods. Without a unified system to archive and retrieve all this information, businesses risk inefficiencies, compliance issues and even costly errors. 

TCF bridges this gap by allowing you to file Teams conversations alongside emails already managed with Mail Manager. This holistic approach ensures all project-related communication is centralized and accessible, making collaboration, compliance and audits far more streamlined.

 

Organize your chats, simplify compliance


For industries with stringent record-keeping requirements, such as legal, financial, or healthcare, TCF offers added peace of mind. It ensures compliance with regulatory standards like FINRA and SEC by securely archiving conversations and making them easy to access when needed.

Even beyond compliance, TCF’s ability to organize chats and attachments boosts productivity across teams by eliminating the time spent searching for information.

 

Find what you need faster with Teams Chat Filer


Stop wasting time searching for vital information hidden in team chat threads. With Mail Manager's TCF, you can centralize communications, protect valuable data, and empower your teams to work smarter.
