Update to Microsoft Teams Notifications
Oh Dear offers several ways to keep you updated on important events like downtime, performance and DNS changes, broken links, Lighthouse issues, and more.
By default, you will get email notifications to the email address you used to sign up. But you can also choose to receive alerts to your preferred platform. A popular choice for many of our users is Microsoft Teams.
But with the recent announcement from Microsoft about retiring the Office 365 Connectors within Microsoft Teams we had to provide a new way for you to connect with minimal effort.
Why the Change?
Microsoft is phasing out Office 365 Connectors in Teams, which many of you relied on to receive updates directly in your channels. To ensure you continue to receive real-time alerts and notifications about your website's status, we have deployed an updated integration tailored for Microsoft Teams workflow apps!
How to Set Up the New Integration
This update does not contain any changes to Microsoft Teams notifications content but it will allow you to migrate easily from Office 365 connectors to workflow apps.
The new update is as simple as creating a new workflow app with a 'post to channel' webhook event and using that unique URL in your Oh Dear notification conifguration. That’s it! Now your team will receive all critical updates right where you work.
Your current Teams notifications will continue working until Microsoft removes support on December 31st, 2024. But you can configure a new notification channel in Oh Dear and run the two side-by-side until you are ready to switch completly. Then you can delete the old connector!
Head over to the documentation for a step-by-step guide on how to handle the migration :)
Stay Informed!
We know how important it is for you to stay on top of any potential issues with your website. Our new integration ensures that even with the changes from Microsoft, you’ll continue to receive reliable, real-time updates.
