Postman app for Microsoft Teams

View as Markdown

Installing the Postman app for Microsoft Teams allows you to collaborate with your team directly within Teams. You can find and share Postman content, stay updated on workspace activity, receive personal notifications, and send monitor results to Teams.

After installing the Postman app, Postman links that you share in Teams are automatically unfurled into rich links. Postman supports rich links for elements such as workspaces, collections, folders, requests, examples, environments, and comments. Postman also supports rich links for HTTP responses.

When you share a Postman link, Teams displays extra information such as the name and type of element and who last updated it. Also, Teams displays options to take action with the element, such as adding a comment, or watching or forking a collection.

Link unfurling isn’t available for Postman links shared from workspaces restricted only to you. Change access to your workspace to collaborate in Teams.

Postman also supports rich links for HTTP responses. Teams displays extra information such as the request URL and response code when you share a Postman link. Teams displays the response body for Postman links shared from team workspaces. For links shared from private or Partner Workspaces, Teams doesn’t display the response body and you must open Postman to view it. Learn how to share a response.

Link unfurling for HTTP responses isn’t available for Postman links shared from workspaces restricted only to you. Change access to your workspace to collaborate on responses in Teams.

Links you share in Teams are pasted as text. To unfurl extra information about an element, a Postman link you share in Teams must be a hyperlink. Click Insert link at the top of the editor, add the text to display, enter the Postman link as the address, then click Insert. You can also add a space after the Postman link to make it a hyperlink.

If the element or HTTP response includes sensitive data, be aware that it might be visible to collaborators you share with in Teams. Make sure to consider the sensitivity of data when deciding which collaborators you share with. Postman recommends checking your organization’s policies to understand what qualifies as sensitive data.

You can remove the preview from your message if you’re concerned about the data that’s shared when a link unfurls. To remove the preview from a sent message, learn about editing a sent message in Microsoft Teams.
