Microsoft Teams is deprecating the "Connectors" integrations, existing Connectors will stop working in December 2025.
- Microsoft recommend new teams integrations should use Workflows. And will be disabling the creation of new Connectors.
- Posting to private channels is currently not supported by Workflows.
Set up an incoming webhook workflow
-
Select More options next to the channel or chat you want to create a workflow for, and then select Workflows.
-
Choose "Post to a channel when a webhook request is received"
Note: The webhook template Post to a chat when a webhook request is received may not be available depending on your organization type. For more help, contact your IT admin.
-
Once the workflow opens, you have the option to change its name.
-
Youâll also need to authenticate with your account to have your workflows post to the channel or chat. If you want to choose a different account to authenticate with, select Switch account and choose the account you want to use.
-
Once you're done updating the name and have the correct account authenticated, select Next.
-
On the next page youâll be able to choose the Channel that this notification will post to. Note if you are using this workflow from a channel these fields will auto-populate for you. After filling out the required details, select Add workflow.
-
Once the workflow is created, youâll see a new dialog with the URL that you can copy.
- If you ever need to copy the workflow URL again, youâll be able to find it by opening the Workflows app within Teams, selecting the workflow that was created, selecting Edit, and expanding the trigger When a Teams webhook request is received. âââââââ
