Leaderboards in SharePoint & Microsoft Teams

Show a live board on your SharePoint intranet or in a Teams channel, and keep the scores in sync with a SharePoint list or an Excel table. No IT approval or app install needed.

The code you paste looks like this:

Add a board as a Teams tab

Sync scores from a SharePoint list

Keep a SharePoint list with one row per person or team (a Title column for the name and a number column called Score) and a Power Automate flow copies each change to the board. Names are matched case-insensitively to the people already on the board. The flow never adds new people, so add them on the board first.

Method:  POST
URI:     https://maketheboard.com/api/v1/<admin_token>/scores
Headers: Content-Type  application/json
Body:
{
  "participant": "[Title]",
  "score": [Score]
}

Change "score" to "delta" if your list records points to add rather than a running total.

Sync scores from an Excel table

For a workbook in OneDrive or SharePoint, format the data as a table with Name and Score columns, then run a flow on a schedule that sends the whole table in one call.

{
  "scores": [Output of Select]
}

One call updates every row. Rows whose name isn't on the board come back in the response's errors list instead of being created, so a typo in the sheet never adds a stray person.

Good to know

• The API accepts up to 120 calls a minute per board, far more than a list or scheduled flow will send.
• Updates from a flow show up live on the board, its embed, the Teams tab, and the TV display.
• Full request and response details are in the API reference. For the embed snippet and sizing tips, see Embed on your site.
