Try it! 

An Incoming webhook lets external applications share content in chats and channels in Microsoft Teams. Webhooks are used as tools to track and notify. You can post to a channel or chat when a webhook request is received. 

Note: Using these templates and the Teams webhook trigger does not require a premium license to use. 

Chat webhook templates: 

  • Send webhook alerts to a chat

  • Send webhook alerts from specific people to a chat

  • Send webhook alerts from people in an org to a chat

Channel webhook templates:
