# Connecting Amazon Q Business to Microsoft Teams using APIs
<a name="teams-api"></a>

You use the [CreateDataSource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/api-reference/API_CreateDataSource.html) action to connect a data source to your Amazon Q application. You can also use the [UpdateDataSource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/api-reference/API_UpdateDataSource.html) action to modify an existing data source configuration.

Then, you use the `configuration` parameter to provide a JSON blob that conforms the AWS-defined JSON schema.

For an example of the API request, see [CreateDataSource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/api-reference/API_CreateDataSource.html) and [UpdateDataSource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/api-reference/API_UpdateDataSource.html) in the Amazon Q API Reference.
