Prerequisites -
- In Microsoft Teams, select a team and a channel for that team (the channel you want notifications sent to).
- In Microsoft Teams, choose the More options (⋯) button next to the channel name in the list of channels and then choose Connectors.
- Look through the list and at the Incoming Webhook connector, click Configure.
- Give the webhook a name and a custom icon and click Create.
- Next, copy the webhook URL. You will need it to configure this in Blue Prism

- { "@type": "MessageCard", "@context": "https://schema.org/extensions", "summary": "A test build notification via REST 4", "themeColor": "0078D7", "title": "A test build notification via REST ", "sections": [ { "activityTitle": "Title test", "activitySubtitle": "Subtitle test" },{ "activityTitle": "Title test 4", "activitySubtitle": "Subtitle test" } ] }
- Then Use of HTTP Methods such as (GET/POST) to perform required task.(Using HTTP VBO)
Bit Caution -
- Outgoing webhooks are limited now and currently being reviewed by security team and only work with publicly exposed (Accessible from outside fil network…such as exposed services via Layer 7)
