Microsoft Teams Webhook Connector

Intro

Microsoft Teams is a unified communication and collaboration platform that combines persistent workplace chat, video meetings, file storage (including collaboration on files), and application integration. Webhooks are one of a few ways web applications can communicate with each other. Microsoft Teams Webhook is a simple way to connect your web services to channels and teams inside Microsoft Teams. Use Domo’s Microsoft Teams Webhook Connector to send real-time data from your web services to your Microsoft Teams’ channels and teams. To learn more about the Microsoft Teams API, visit https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-concept-overview.

You connect to your Microsoft Teams account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Microsoft Teams Connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Connecting to Your Microsoft Teams Account Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Microsoft Teams Webhook Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most Connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Microsoft Teams account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:  

Once you have entered valid Microsoft Teams credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Microsoft Teams Webhook DataSet. You can manage Connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
