Send downpipes alerts to Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams receives downpipes alerts through an incoming webhook connector on a channel, or by email to a channel address. This is a notification only, the same honest limit as Slack: Teams does not track incident state, so nothing here de-duplicates or auto-resolves.

What you need

  • A Teams channel where you can add an incoming webhook connector.
  • Access to the downpipes console with the notify-config capability (Operator, Approver or Owner) to add and test the channel.

Set it up

  1. In Teams, open the target channel, add an Incoming Webhook connector, name it, and copy the URL it produces.
  2. In the downpipes console, open Notifications, choose Add a channel and pick Microsoft Teams (connector or email). Adding a channel needs the notify-config capability, so an Operator, Approver or Owner can add one.
  3. Leave the delivery set to Connector webhook URL, paste the connector URL into the field (https, no embedded credentials), name the channel and save it, then a rule routes events to it.
  4. Choose Test on the channel to confirm delivery without sending real alert content, then check the card arrived in the Teams channel.

Good to know

  • Notification only, like Slack. Each alert posts as a connector card with a severity colour, the event and a one-line summary. Teams does not resolve or de-duplicate, so send to an incident platform as well when you need that.
  • Email is an alternative transport. If your tenant restricts connectors, switch the channel’s delivery to Channel email address and enter the channel’s email instead. Live email sending needs the engine’s email binding to be configured.
