Configuring Microsoft Teams Accounts

You need a Microsoft Teams webhook URL to configure a Microsoft Teams action. To create a webhook URL, add the Incoming Webhook App through the Microsoft Teams console:

Log in to teams.microsoft.com as a team administrator.
Navigate to the Apps directory, search for and select the Incoming Webhook app.
Choose Add to team and select a team and channel for the app.
Enter a name for your webhook and (optionally) upload a custom icon.
Click Create.
Copy the generated webhook URL so you can paste it into your Teams connector form.
