Incoming Webhooks for Microsoft Teams

Firewall Manager can forward notifications to Microsoft Teams. These messages are displayed either in a designated channel or as an automated bot in a private chat message in Microsoft Teams. To enable this functionality, you must generate a webhook URL from Microsoft Teams and point Firewall Manager to that webhook. For more information about adding incoming webhooks to a Microsoft Teams channel, see Create incoming webhooks with Workflows for Microsoft Teams.
