Get notifications in Microsoft Teams

Notifications keep you up to date on what’s happening in Postman. In addition to in-app and email notifications, you can get Postman notifications and alerts in Microsoft Teams. Once you connect your Postman account to Microsoft Teams, you can customize the types of notifications you’ll receive. You can choose to get personal notifications in Microsoft Teams about updates to any Postman workspace you belong to.

You can also connect a Postman workspace to Microsoft Teams to get notifications about team activity and communicate workspace updates.

You can choose to get the following notifications in Microsoft Teams:

• Comment mentions and replies - Get notified in Teams when teammates mention you in a comment or reply to one of your comments.
• Security alerts - Get an alert in Teams if you publicly expose a token in Postman, or if you expose a Postman API key in your repository.
• System alerts for monitors - Get notified in Teams when there are system events that affect scheduled monitor runs.

Set up workspace notifications in Microsoft Teams

You can connect a Postman workspace to a Microsoft Teams channel. Once you connect the two, Postman sends updates to the Teams channel when someone posts a workspace update, or adds, edits, or deletes a request, collection, or environment. Each update in Teams includes options to take actions, such as adding a comment or watching a collection.

1. In Postman, click Connect from your workspace Overview tab.
2. Click Connect Microsoft Teams.
3. A browser tab opens with a warning that you are being redirected to complete the authorization on the Microsoft site. Click Continue. If the app has been correctly configured in Teams, the authorization is successful and you are redirected back to Postman.
4. Configure the Teams integration in Postman to specify which types of workspace notifications you want to receive.
5. Select a Microsoft Teams channel or group chat in which to receive notifications.
6. Choose whether to receive notifications in real time or periodically as a digest. If you choose real time notifications, select which updates you want to receive as they happen. If you choose digest, select the frequency at which you want to receive the digest notifications.
7. Click Connect to establish the connection and begin receiving workspace notifications in Microsoft Teams.
