description: Send Report URI Watch alerts to a Microsoft Teams channel using a Workflows webhook trigger.

# Microsoft Teams

Teams receives alerts through the **Workflows** app, which is Power Automate under a different name. Microsoft 365 Connectors - the old "Incoming Webhook" channel connector - are being retired, and creation of new ones is being blocked, so a Workflow is the route to use for anything set up now.

## Creating the webhook URL

1. In Teams, go to the team and channel you want alerts in.
2. Select **More options (...)** next to the channel, then **Workflows**.
3. Search for and select the **Send webhook alerts to a channel** template.
4. Configure the parameters and select **Save**.
5. Copy the webhook link the workflow generates.

## Sending alerts to Teams

Open the **Config** modal on the watcher you want alerts from, enable **Send Webhook alerts**, and paste the URL into **Target webhook URI**.

The template posts the `text` field from the request body, which our payload always carries, so alerts arrive as readable messages without you having to map any fields.

## Things to watch for

- **A workflow belongs to the person who created it, not to the channel.** If that person leaves the organisation the flow can be orphaned and alerts stop. Add a co-owner when you create it - this is the failure mode most likely to bite you months later, silently.
- Old Microsoft 365 Connector URLs (`*.webhook.office.com`) still work for now but are on a retirement path. If your alerts run through one, move them to a Workflow.
- Workflows can post to shared channels; posting as a flow bot in private channels is still limited.
- Teams enforces a message size limit and throttles bursts. Watch alerts are small and infrequent enough that neither should matter, but raising a watcher's alert threshold reduces volume further if a noisy site is a problem.
