Sending teams messages without setting up an Office 365 connector requires an authenticated user to send the messages. This user (or users) is stored in a Teams Messaging Account in FlexDeploy which can be managed at Topology->Integrations->Messaging.

The required prerequisites for sending messages this way are explained below.

This setup method is also required for approving tasks from Microsoft Teams. So, to approve tasks from Microsoft Teams (available in the 5.5.2 release), you must configure BOTH webhooks and a Teams Messaging Integration.

Teams Messaging Accounts

This plugin uses a Teams Messaging Account which contains all relevant credentials to connect to the Teams workspace. Navigate to Topology->Integrations→Messaging and create a new Account with the Provider set to MicrosoftTeams.
