The Microsoft Teams Integration allows users to configure and send custom alerts within Middleware to any public or private Teams channel. This integration is useful for collaborating in real-time within Teams based on alerts triggered by Middleware. This process ensures that your team can quickly respond to critical alerts without leaving the Teams application.

The Microsoft Teams Integration works by directly connecting your Microsoft Teams account with Middleware. This allows Middleware to access the Microsoft Teams API and dispatch direct messages to Teams channels whenever an alert is triggered.
