How to Configure a Microsoft Teams Webhook Using the New Workflow Method

Microsoft has deprecated the classic Incoming Webhook connector for Teams, replacing it with a more secure and integrated Workflow-based method. This guide explains how to create a webhook for your Teams channel and use it to send alerts from external systems such as Shuffle, SOCFortress Copilot, or other automation tools.

Step-by-Step Configuration

1. Open Microsoft Teams and navigate to the channel where you want alerts to be posted.
2. Click the three dots (⋯) next to the channel name to open the context menu.
    
3. From the menu, select Workflows.
   
4. In the workflow selection window, scroll to Notify a Team and choose:
   “Send webhook alerts to a channel”.
6. You will be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft 365 account and authorize the workflow.
7. Once complete, Teams will generate a unique Webhook URL specific to that channel.
8. Copy that URL and share it with your SOCFortress or Shuffle integration point. For example, if you’re connecting through Shuffle:

   https://prod-XX.westus.logic.azure.com/workflows/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?...

9. SOCFortress (or your integration system) will post alerts to this URL. You can then fine-tune how messages appear in Teams to make them concise and actionable.

Summary

• The old Incoming Webhook connector is deprecated.
• Use the new Workflows → Send webhook alerts to a channel option instead.
• Each channel gets its own secure URL.
• Integrations like Graylog or Shuffle can post alerts using this URL.

Following this method ensures your Microsoft Teams integration remains secure, supported, and future-proof under Microsoft’s modern workflow architecture.
