# Microsoft Teams

## Set up Teams <a href="#set-up-in-teams" id="set-up-in-teams"></a>

1. Set up a [webhook for your Teams channel](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/add-incoming-webhook).
2. Make note of the URL for your webhook when it is generated.
3. Note the name of the Teams channel where you added the webhook.

## Create a Lightup alerting channel that uses Microsoft Teams <a href="#create-a-lightup-alerting-channel-that-uses-microsoft-teams" id="create-a-lightup-alerting-channel-that-uses-microsoft-teams"></a>

You'll need the URL of the webhook and the Microsoft Teams Channel name to complete this procedure. You can get both strings when you set up the webhook on Teams.

1. In the left nav, on your workspace menu select **Integrations**. Your current integrations appear in the main Lightup form.
2. In the main Lightup form, select **+** near the top left corner to create a new channel, and then choose **Microsoft Teams channel**.
3. In the **Add Microsoft Teams integration** dialog, enter a value for **Name** - this becomes the _Title_ of the integration when it's listed in the main Lightup form.
4. Both **URL** and **Microsoft Teams Channel** come from the Teams side. Enter the values you noted when you created the webhook in Microsoft Teams.
5. Be sure to set your time zone.
6. Under **Post Alerts to this channel**, select the frequency at which the channel will receive new alerts. All posts happen at the beginning of the period indicated by the frequency and cover alerts in the previous period; for example, an hourly post is a digest of all alerts in the preceding hour.
7. Use the toggles to choose whether to post daily digests and send alerts for resolved incidents.
8. Optionally, select **Send test message** to test the new channel.
9. Select **Add** to finish.
