Microsoft Teams Alerts (Workflows)

··5 min read

Post an Adaptive Card to a Teams channel after each scheduled scrape.

Setup Steps

  1. In Teams, open the channel → “…” → Workflows.
  2. Choose the template “Post to a channel when a webhook request is received” and finish setup.
  3. Copy the webhook URL that Workflows gives you.
  4. In Lection, set the delivery channel to "Microsoft Teams" and paste the URL.

Mapping Tips

  • The card shows schedule name, status, row count, and an “Open dataset” button.
  • Older Office 365 connector URLs still work, but Microsoft is retiring them; use Workflows for new setups.

Payload Highlights

  • Adaptive Card (message envelope), not the raw JSON payload.

Test Checklist

  • Paste the webhook URL in Lection and save the schedule.
  • Use “Run now” on the schedule and wait for it to finish.
  • Check the channel for the run summary and open the dataset link.
