Microsoft Teams

How to set up an Incoming Webhook in Microsoft Teams and connect it to Nora.
Teams integrations are write-only: Nora posts notifications and messages into a Teams channel via an Incoming Webhook URL. There’s no return channel — the webhook can’t read messages.

Where to apply for credentials

The webhook is created from inside Teams — there’s no developer portal:

Connect in Nora

1

Open the channel's connectors

In Teams, navigate to the channel where messages should appear. Click the next to the channel name → Manage channelConnectors.
2

Add Incoming Webhook

Find Incoming Webhook in the list, click Add. Give it a name (e.g. “Nora notifications”) and optionally upload an icon, then click Create.
3

Copy the webhook URL

Teams generates a URL on webhook.office.com. Copy it — Microsoft only shows it once.
4

Connect in Nora

Paste the URL into Nora and click Connect. Nora validates that the URL is well-formed and points at a Microsoft webhook host, then stores it. It does not send a test message — that would deliver to the channel.

Verify the connection

The Test button repeats the structural validation — it does not send a test message. To verify end-to-end, deploy your agent and trigger a notification.

Limitations

  • Send-only. Teams webhooks can’t read messages or list channels. For two-way agent integrations, set up a Bot via the Microsoft Bot Framework instead.
  • Per-channel. Each webhook is bound to one channel. To post into multiple channels, create multiple integrations or use one with the channel ID encoded into your message routing.
  • Microsoft is sunsetting Office 365 Connectors. Plan to migrate to Power Automate / Workflows when Microsoft retires the legacy webhook URLs.

MCP server

No MCP server — webhook integrations don’t have a query surface.
