The Microsoft Teams connector uses Incoming Webhooks.

Microsoft Teams connectors have the following configuration properties.

Name

Webhook URL
The URL of the incoming webhook. See Add Incoming Webhooks for instructions on generating this URL. If you are using the xpack.actions.allowedHosts setting, make sure the hostname is added to the allowed hosts.
