Configuring Microsoft Teams Notifications

Last published : Aug 26, 2026
Microsoft Teams notifications let you deliver event notifications to a Microsoft Teams channel. Notifications are posted as Adaptive Cards through a Microsoft Power Automate (Workflows) endpoint, so you do not need to register an application in Microsoft Entra ID.

Creating the Teams workflow

Before configuring Arctera Capture, create a workflow in Microsoft Teams to generate the endpoint URL:
  1. In Microsoft Teams, open the Workflows app.
  2. Create a workflow that posts to a channel when a webhook request is received, and select the specific Team and Channel where notifications should be posted.
  3. Copy the generated HTTP POST URL. This is the Teams Workflow URL used in the notification configuration.
Note: As a best practice, create the workflow under a service account so that the notification stream continues to work if the employee who created it leaves the organization.

Configuring the notification in Arctera Capture

  1. In the Event Subscriptions section, open the Microsoft Teams notification settings.
  2. Paste the Teams Workflow URL into the dedicated field. The URL must originate from the logic.azure.com domain; other URLs are rejected.
  3. Click Test Connection to send a System Test Adaptive Card to the configured channel and confirm that the connection works.
  4. Save the configuration.
Note: Anyone who has the Teams Workflow URL can post messages to the channel. Keep the URL confidential and rotate it if you suspect it has been compromised.
