Step 1. Create a workflow in Microsoft Teams

In this section, we’ll guide you through how to configure Microsoft Teams so that you can connect to it.

A workflow allows you to automate repetitive processes that connect one or more apps to Microsoft Teams. You’ll need to create a workflow to set up Microsoft Teams notifications from Deel.

To create a new workflow:

1. In Microsoft Teams, navigate to Workflows > Manage.
2. Click New flow to select the Post to a channel when a webhook request is received template.
3. In the Create a flow modal, select the team and channel you want to receive notifications to.
4. Click Create flow.
The workflow is created, and a new URL is generated. Make note of the URL, as it's needed to set up notifications in Deel.

Step 2. Connect the integration

In this section, we’ll guide you through how to connect Deel to Microsoft Teams.

To connect to Microsoft Teams:

1. Go to More > Apps and search for Microsoft Teams in the App Store.
2. On the integration page, click Connect Microsoft Teams.

The integration is now connected, you can start to set up the integration.

Step 3. Set up the integration

In this section, we’ll guide you through setting up the integration to start receiving notifications.

To set up Microsoft Teams integration:
1. From the Microsoft Teams integration page, go to the Plugins and settings tab.
2. Next to the Notifications plugin, click Enable.
3. Turn on the notification for the event you want to be notified for.

4. Enter the webhook URL as the channel link and an optional channel name.

5. Click Apply changes.

Notifications are set up and will be sent to that channel if there are any new activities.

You can test the configuration by clicking test, this will send a test message to the channel.
