External Notifications, formerly known as Webhooks, are a way to receive notifications or take action based on data (e.g., via Alarms). Setting up an external notification to the popular messaging app Microsoft Teams is now even easier.
- From the left-hand menu, select Notifications > Compliance Alarms > Alarm Configuration (Alarms > Configuration). From this page, you can either edit an existing alarm or create a new one to configure the notification.
- We currently support sending messages via Slack and Microsoft Teams; however, the option to choose a custom URL is also available.
For guidance on how to enable incoming Webhooks for Microsoft Teams, please follow this guide: Microsoft Teams: Creating Incoming Webhooks
- Once the Webhook URL has been successfully set up, your notification will appear as shown in the following example in Microsoft Teams, where anything within the "$" will be the actual information as it appears in the Activity Log and Alarm Log.
- A direct link to the Alarm Log will also be available, and you can visit and edit the Alarm itself if necessary.
