Elementary’s Microsoft Teams integration enables sending alerts when data issues happen. The alerts are sent using Adaptive Cards format, which provides rich formatting and interactive capabilities. The alerts include rich context, and you can create alert rules to distribute alerts to different channels and destinations.

Enabling Microsoft Teams alerts

  1. Go to the Environments page on the sidebar.
  2. Select an environment and click connect on the Connect messaging app card (first card), and select Microsoft Teams.
Connect messaging app
  1. For each MS Teams channel you want to connect, create a webhook using Power Automate. Power Automate is Microsoft’s recommended way to receive webhook requests in Teams. You can set it up in two ways — both produce the same webhook URL: Option A — directly from Teams (faster):
    1. Go to your Teams channel
    2. Click the three dots (…) next to the channel name
    3. Select Workflows
    4. Choose the template “Post to channel when a webhook request is received”
    5. Copy the webhook URL
    Option B — from the Power Automate website:
    1. Go to Power Automate
    2. Create a new instant cloud flow
    3. Search for “When a HTTP request is received” as your trigger
    4. Add a “Post adaptive card in a chat or channel” action
    5. Configure the team and channel where you want to post
    6. Save the flow and copy the HTTP POST URL
Elementary cannot directly verify if messages were successfully delivered via Power Automate. Monitor your workflow runs in Power Automate to check for any errors.
  1. Configure your Microsoft Teams webhooks and give each one a name indicating its connected channel:
Provide webhooks
  1. Select a default channel for alerts and set the suppression interval.
The default channel you select will automatically add a default alert rule to send all failures to this channel. Alerts on warnings are not sent by default. To modify and add rules, navigate to the Alert Rules page.
Select channel and suppression interval

Microsoft 365 Connectors

Microsoft 365 Connectors (the legacy incoming webhook method) are no longer supported by Microsoft. If you previously connected Elementary using a Connector-based webhook, you’ll need to recreate it using Power Automate Workflows above. See Microsoft’s retirement announcement for more details.
