247Monitor posts to Teams via a webhook generated by the Workflows app. You create a flow from a ready-made template, copy its URL, and paste it into a 247Monitor alert channel.
Create the webhook in Teams

Start a workflow on your channel
In Microsoft Teams, find the channel you want alerts in, click the ••• menu next to it, and choose Workflows. (You can also open the Workflows app from the left rail and create one there.)

Pick the webhook template
Choose the template “Send webhook alerts to a channel”. (Teams also lists “Send webhook alerts to a chat” — pick the channel one.) Teams will ask you to confirm the team and channel the messages should land in.

Create it and copy the URL
