How to set up Microsoft Teams notifications

Updated over a week ago

You can set up notifications to Microsoft Teams channels on lineage or data contract changes through Foundational Policies mechanism.

First you need to integrate a specific Microsoft Teams channel with Foundational.

  1. Go to your Microsoft Teams account and follow these steps:

    1. Click on Apps -> Workflows -> Notifications.

    2. Choose “Post to a channel when a webhook request is received”.

    3. Enter a Name of your choosing and click Next.

    4. Choose a target Teams channel for notifications and click Add Workflow.

    5. Copy the Workflow URL (you will need it later) and click Done.

  2. Next, configure the channel in Foundational UI:

    1. Click on Integrations on left side panel.

    2. Choose Microsoft Teams → Configure → “Add new Teams notification channel”.

    3. Enter Teams Channel Name - you will use it later when selecting channel in Policy configuration screen.

    4. Enter Workflow URL (copied above).

    5. Click Save.

Now you are ready to configure policies with “Alert on Teams” actions, just go to Policies section on the left side panel, create or configure a new policy and set the action to notify on Teams.
