Alerts: Updated Workflow for Microsoft Teams Integration

In compliance with Microsoft’s deprecation of Office 365 connectors, we have an updated setup for Alerts + Microsoft Teams. All users of the integration will need to reconnect to Microsoft Teams via Workflows (rather than webhooks, as was previously the case). This change is effective immediately, so to avoid an interruption it’s important that you complete this updated setup ASAP 🙏

Follow this guide or learn more in the Help Center to get your Alerts up and running in Teams in no time!

 

Setting Up Your Microsoft Teams Integration via Workflows

  1. In Microsoft Teams, navigate to Teams in the left navigation and click + to create a new channel. Every channel must be assigned to a Team, so select the Team, name the channel, and set it to Standard.
