Microsoft Teams alert receivers

You can create Microsoft Teams receivers to send notifications about triggered alerts directly to your Teams channels.

To add a Microsoft Teams receiver:

  1. Go to Alerts > Receivers > Add receiver, and select Teams.
  2. Provide the following details:
    Receiver name
    The name of the receiver to be displayed in Databand.
    Microsoft Teams channel email address
    Alerts are sent to this email address. To find the email address associated with your channel, refer to the Microsoft documentation.
  3. If you are a Databand Self-Hosted user and you didn't previously configure SMTP settings, or if you are a SaaS user and you want your emails to be sent from a specific address, complete the following advanced settings:
    1. Under the Advanced settings dropdown, select the I want to override system default email provider checkbox and provide the following information:
      Email address to send the emails from
      The default email address is no-reply-dbnd-alerts@databand.ai.
      SMTP hostname
      For example, smtp.example.com.
      SMTP username
      API key or username
      SMTP password
      Service password or access token
    2. Select the Enable TLS for SMTP connection checkbox to secure your SMTP connection.
  4. Validate the configuration by clicking Test connection.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Choose the defined alerts that you want to be notified about through this receiver, then click Save.
Note: All SaaS customers are provided with a default SMTP provider. If you use the default SMTP provider, make sure to allowlist no-reply-dbnd-alerts@databand.ai. If you don't configure Advanced settings, Databand uses the SMTP server that was configured through Settings > Organization > SMTP.
