Microsoft Teams

Deliver CentralCSP alerts to a Teams channel with a Power Automate workflow webhook. Legacy Office 365 connectors are retired.

Last update:

A Microsoft Teams channel type posts each alert as a message in one Teams channel, through a Workflows (Power Automate) webhook. Create the workflow in Teams, paste its URL into CentralCSP, send a test.

Legacy Office 365 connectors are not supported

Microsoft retired Office 365 connector webhooks. A webhook.office.com URL is rejected here by design; only Power Automate workflow URLs are accepted, hosted under logic.azure.com or api.powerplatform.com. If your team still has an old connector URL, replace it with a workflow using the steps below.

Prerequisites

  • The website Manager role in CentralCSP.
  • A Microsoft 365 account that can add workflows to the target team. The webhook templates do not require a Power Automate premium license.

1. Create the workflow webhook in Teams

  1. In Teams, open the channel that should receive alerts, select More options (the three dots next to the channel name), then Workflows.
  2. Choose the template Post to a channel when a webhook request is received (also listed as Send webhook alerts to a channel).
  3. Sign in if prompted, confirm the team and channel, and add the workflow.
  4. Copy the webhook URL shown once the workflow is created. It is hosted under logic.azure.com or api.powerplatform.com.

You can also build the same flow from Power Automate with the trigger When a Teams webhook request is received. Microsoft's guide is at Create incoming webhooks with Workflows for Microsoft Teams.

Two behaviours worth knowing. Messages are posted by the Workflows bot, not by a name you choose. And the workflow is owned by the account that created it; if that account is disabled or leaves the organization, the flow stops, so consider creating it with a service account.

2. Add the channel in CentralCSP

  1. In the dashboard, go to Alerts > Configuration > Add channel.
  2. Name the channel, choose the Microsoft Teams type, and paste the workflow URL.
  3. Save.

The URL is validated as you type: the host must be under logic.azure.com (including the .us and .cn sovereign clouds) or api.powerplatform.com. A retired webhook.office.com connector URL is rejected before you save.

3. Test the channel

Select Test on the new channel. A sample alert built from a fake CSP violation is sent immediately.

If the message does not arrive, open the workflow's run history in Teams (Workflows > your flow) or in Power Automate. A run that appears there but posts nothing means the flow's action failed; no run at all means the URL is wrong or the flow is turned off.
