| Long-term, the goal is to learn from missteps made in current releases and | ||

| ##### How to create a Workflow connector webhook URL | ||
|
|
||
| > [!TIP] | ||
| > | ||
| > Use a dedicated "service" account not tied to a specific team member to help | ||
| ensure that the Workflow connector is long lived. | ||
|
|
||
| The [initial O365 retirement blog | ||
| post][o365-connector-retirement-announcement] provides a list of templates | ||
| which guide you through the process of creating a Power Automate Workflow | ||
| webhook URL. | ||
|
|
||
| ###### Using Teams client Workflows context option | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Navigate to a channel or chat | ||
| 1. Select the ellipsis on the channel or chat | ||
| 1. Select `Workflows` | ||
| 1. Type `when a webhook request` | ||
| 1. Select the appropriate template | ||
| - `Post to a channel when a webhook request is received` | ||
| - `Post to a chat when a webhook request is received` | ||
| 1. Verify that `Microsoft Teams` is successfully enabled | ||
| 1. Select `Next` | ||
| 1. Select an appropriate value from the `Microsoft Teams Team` drop-down list. | ||
| 1. Select an appropriate `Microsoft Teams Channel` drop-down list. | ||
| 1. Select `Create flow` | ||
| 1. Copy the new workflow URL | ||
| 1. Select `Done` | ||
|
|
||
| ###### Using Teams client app | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Open `Workflows` application in teams | ||
| 1. Select `Create` across the top of the UI | ||
| 1. Choose `Notifications` at the left | ||
| 1. Select `Post to a channel when a webhook request is received` | ||
| 1. Verify that `Microsoft Teams` is successfully enabled | ||
| 1. Select `Next` | ||
| 1. Select an appropriate value from the `Microsoft Teams Team` drop-down list. | ||
| 1. Select an appropriate `Microsoft Teams Channel` drop-down list. | ||
| 1. Select `Create flow` | ||
| 1. Copy the new workflow URL | ||
| 1. Select `Done` | ||
|
|
||
| ###### Using Power Automate web UI | ||
|
|
||
| [This][workflow-channel-post-from-webhook-request] template walks you through | ||
| the steps of creating a new Workflow using the | ||
| <https://make.powerautomate.com/> web UI: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Select or create a new connection (e.g., <[email protected]>) to Microsoft | ||
| Teams | ||
| 1. Select `Create` | ||
| 1. Select an appropriate value from the `Microsoft Teams Team` drop-down list. | ||
| 1. Select an appropriate `Microsoft Teams Channel` drop-down list. | ||
| 1. Select `Create` | ||
| 1. If prompted, read the info message (e.g., "Your flow is ready to go") and | ||
| dismiss it. | ||
| 1. Select `Edit` from the menu across the top | ||
| - alternatively, select `My flows` from the side menu, then select `Edit` | ||
| from the "More commands" ellipsis | ||
| 1. Select `When a Teams webhook request is received` (e.g., left click) | ||
| 1. Copy the `HTTP POST URL` value | ||
| - this is your *private* custom Workflow connector URL | ||
| - by default anyone can `POST` a request to this Workflow connector URL | ||
| - while this access setting can be changed it will prevent this library | ||
| from being used to submit webhook requests | ||
