Guide to Stackdriver - MS Teams Connector

Typically Stackdriver provides a lot of native notification channels to various tools. Unfortunately there is no native MS Teams connector available.

2. Select (•••) More Options from the top navigation bar.
3. Choose Connectors from the drop-down menu and search for Incoming Webhook.

6. Select the Done button. The webhook will be available in the team channel.
7. Add the user analytics-virtualisation-layer@mediamarktsaturn.com to your as Project as Project Owner.

9. Fill in the Textfields in our Web UI. Here you need your copied webhook URL, your GCP Project ID (where you want to deploy our connector. Attention, Stackdriver must be enabled in your project.) and your custom display name.

   

10. Click on Create Connector.
11. Wait a few seconds.
12. Your connector is now created.
