Microsoft Teams integration

Updraft integrates with Microsoft Teams seamlessly. Integrate Microsoft Teams and get notified about new available app versions or new received feedbacks.

Microsoft Teams for app distribution

With just a few steps you can integrate Microsoft Teams into your app distribution process with Updraft and be informed about the latest app versions at any time and install them directly.

Microsoft is retiring the Office 365 Connectors feature from Microsoft Teams. The original retirement was announced for August 2024 and has been extended to December 2025. If you still have a legacy Connector Webhook URL configured in Updraft, replace it with a Power Automate Workflow URL before the cutoff — otherwise notifications will stop. This documentation has been updated for Workflows.

Prerequisites:

To integrate Updraft with Microsoft Teams, you need at least one channel in Teams and need to be able to create a Workflow for this Channel. Furthermore, your Updraft Account needs to be a Project-Admin.

1. Create a Workflow for your Channel

1. Press the three dots on the left Sidebar of Teams.

2. If you do not see the App Workflows, search it.

Press on Workflows to continue

1. Then you can press on New flow and either use the Post to a channel when a webhook request is received or create a flow from blank.

Select the template or create a flow from blank.

1. Lets say you decide to use the template from Microsoft

2. Give this flow a name and if you are connected to teams, press on next.

3. Select your Teams Team and Teams Channel in which you want to post a message. Press on Create a flow.

4. Great! Now copy the URL of the Workflow and switch to Updraft.

Copy this URL, you will need it later

Updraft accepts Workflow URLs on the *.powerplatform.com and *.logic.azure.com domains. Legacy *.webhook.office.com Connector URLs are no longer accepted.

2. Add a Integration to Updraft

1. Select the Organization and Project. Then navigate to the Project Settings

2. Go to the Integration tab and add a Microsoft Teams Integration.

Add a Microsoft Teams Integration.

1. Add a name and the URL from the Teams Workflow.

2. If you want to configure the Workflow only for a specific App, select it.

3. Press on Save and navigate to the Builds of your Project.

3. Test the Integration of the Workflow.

1. On the Builds page, upload a new Build.

2. After a new build was uploaded, switch to Teams again and check your configured Channel.

A automated Post was send via Workflows, perfect!

Great, now you will get a message via Workflows every time you upload a build from Updraft.

Message format

Notifications are delivered as an Adaptive Card (full-width in the Teams chat) with project, app, environment, feedback, and device facts, plus the Description rendered as its own wrapped block so long text stays readable. A Feedback button links back to Updraft.

If you do not want to have the little message that this Workflow uses a template, you will have to create a flow from blank in step 1.4.
