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.
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.
