# Microsoft Teams

## Overview

Nucleus enables you to sync your Microsoft Teams collaboration tool to the Nucleus console using an automated connector. The connector enables your team to post directly to Microsoft Teams and send notifications to a specific channel from within the Nucleus console.

          Microsoft 365 Connectors Nearing Retirement

          

The Microsoft Teams connector has recently been updated to support webhook integration through Workflows. Microsoft is executing a phased retirement of Microsoft 365 connectors, the integration approach previously used by the Microsoft Teams connector. Customers with existing Teams connectors configured will need to edit their connections and follow the steps below to replace existing Webhook URLs with a new Workflow URLs for posting to a webhook. For more details on the retirement of Microsoft 365 connectors, see [Retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/retirement-of-office-365-connectors-within-microsoft-teams/).

## Configuring a Microsoft Teams Connector

The Microsoft Teams connector send notifications to a Teams channel by calling a Workflow configure to post to a channel when a webhook request is received. Follow the steps below to create a Workflow in Microsoft Teams and configure a new Teams connector in Nucleus:

1. Create a Workflow that posts to the Teams channel where you want to receive notifications from Nucleus:

  2. Before clicking done, be sure to copy the Workflow URL to a notepad or clipboard:
2. From within a Nucleus project, go to **Project Administration > Connectors**.
3. Under the **Communication** section, click the **Microsoft Teams** icon.

## Create a notification automation rule

Nucleus enables you to set up an unlimited number of flexible [automation rules](/v1/docs/automation-workflows), including notifications. Notification rules will send alerts to your Microsoft Teams instance when triggered on criteria that you define. To set up a notification rule, do the following:

1. From within a Nucleus project, go to the **Automation** page.
2. Click the **Notifications** icon.
3. Click **Add Rule**.
4. Enter a name in the **Rule Name** field, such as `Notify on new critical vulns on external assets`.
5. Select the **Chat** checkbox, and then your Microsoft Teams connector from the dropdown.
6. Set the remaining options to your preferences.
7. Click the **Save** button and close the pop-up modal and you're done!

You will now be notified in Microsoft Teams when any of the criteria you set in Nucleus is met.
