This document demonstrates how to post a message to an MS Teams channel using a webhook.
In MS Teams
Once the new channel has been created, it’s time to create an incoming webhook for it.
Using the three dots on the channel, choose Connectors.
The new page will be displayed with the available connectors to be configured for that channel. Look for Incoming Webhook and click on Configure.
Give a name to the incoming webhook (required) and change the icon to be displayed (optional), then click Create.
At the bottom of the module, a new section is displayed with the following information:
An example of the URL would be: https://nexthink.webhook.office.com/webhookb2/5d4e17ca-3fb8-4799-b1a6- 9e393959c4b3@13387b29-82d9-4ca5-9fa0- b7b5635742ef/IncomingWebhook/5fcc84f00dfb4ad9bbdcd94a86e53864/69227ead- 2e93-461f-91e1-f03494393957
