Add a Microsoft Teams Notification¶
Add a Microsoft Teams notification action to a Flow to post Adaptive Card alerts into a Teams channel whenever the trigger activates. For the card format and the concept behind the channel, see the Notifications deep dive.
Integration Required
Before using Microsoft Teams notifications in Flows, you need to connect the Microsoft Teams integration in Settings > Integrations. See the Microsoft Teams Integration setup guide for instructions.
Permission Required
To edit and publish a Flow, you need the Editor team permission on every datastore it relates to. Admins are exempt. See Flow Permissions for details.
Field reference¶
The Microsoft Teams Settings panel shows the following field. There is no message field to fill in. Microsoft Teams composes the message from its own template, and each trigger type produces its own format (see Notifications). The Preview section below the field shows how the notification will look.
| Field | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel | Option | The Microsoft Teams channel where notifications will be sent. The list shows the channels of the team in the integration's Microsoft Teams Link. Channels in other teams and chats cannot be selected. |
No message field
Microsoft Teams composes the message itself from the event, as an Adaptive Card, so the panel has no Message field and no Reset to defaults button. The Preview field shows what a recipient will see.
Steps¶
Step 1: Navigate to the Flows page by clicking Flows on the left side panel.
Step 2: On the Definitions tab, click the Flow. On its canvas, click the dashed Action placeholder after the trigger, or the + handle at the bottom edge of a node.
Step 3: In the List of Actions panel, pick the Notification category, then click Microsoft Teams. The Microsoft Teams Settings panel opens on the right-hand side.
Step 4: Pick the Channel and check the Preview.
Step 5: Click Test Notification to send a sample message with dummy data and confirm the destination and formatting. A confirmation message appears when it is delivered.
Step 6: Click Save. The node shows a CHANGED badge and the You have unpublished changes banner appears on the canvas.
Step 7: Click Publish to make the action live.
