Microsoft Teams

Guard integrates with workplace messaging services to send push notifications for specified alerts. This guide walks you through setting up a Microsoft Teams webhook integration with Guard.

First, decide where in Teams you want to see your Guard alerts. Pick the channel where you want notifications to be sent:

  1. Open Microsoft Teams.

  2. Select the channel where you want to receive notifications.

  3. Click on the ellipsis (three dots) next to the channel name.

  4. Choose "Workflows" from the dropdown menu.

Now, you'll want to find the right Workflow.

  1. In the Workflows menu, search for "Post to a channel when a webhook request is received."

  2. Click on the Workflow to select it.

Once you've identified the right workflow, you can give it a name.

  1. Enter a name for the workflow. This name is only used to distinguish it from other workflows in your settings.

  2. Wait for Teams to confirm the connection is valid.

  3. Click the "Next" button.

Next, you can check your work and make sure what you have entered is correct.

  1. Ensure the correct channel is selected.

  2. Click the "Add Workflow" button.

With your Workflow created, you'll be presented with a URL that Guard will use to send alerts.

  1. Copy the webhook URL provided by Teams.

  2. Click the "Done" button to close the window.

Configuring Guard

With Teams set up to receive alerts, log into Guard and navigate to Settings in the left sidebar. Select the Notification Settings tab, then click Add Notification.

  1. Click "Connect" on the Microsoft Teams card.

  2. Paste the webhook URL you copied from Teams into the "Webhook URL" field.

  3. Select the minimum severity of vulnerabilities you want to be alerted about.

  4. Click the "Connect" button to complete the integration.

After successful setup, you should receive a test notification in your selected Microsoft Teams channel confirming the integration is active.
