Integrate Postman with Microsoft Teams

View as Markdown

Connect your Postman account to Microsoft Teams with the Postman app. Install the Postman app in Teams to get started.

Microsoft Teams is a platform for real-time collaboration and communication. With Postman’s integrations for Microsoft Teams, you don’t have to leave Teams to collaborate on API development. Share what you’re working on, get notifications, and stay up to date with Postman activity, all within Teams.

You can get personal notifications, workspace notifications, and monitor results in Microsoft Teams.

Postman app for Microsoft Teams

When you connect your Postman workspaces to Teams channels, you can collaborate with your Postman team right in Teams.

  • Get more context when sharing links to workspaces, collections, or requests. When you share a Postman link, it’s unfurled into a rich link you can use to perform actions from Teams, like watching or forking a collection.

  • Find and share Postman content from Teams. Search for Postman workspaces, collections, and requests and share them with others without leaving Teams.

  • Stay up to date on workspace activity. Connect a Postman workspace to a Teams channel to get updates any time your teammates add or change a request, collection, or environment.

  • Get personal notifications in Teams. Connect your Postman account to Microsoft Teams to get notifications about important events. You can get notified in Teams when teammates mention you, reply to your comments, or make update workspaces or collections you’re watching. You can also get security alerts when tokens or keys are exposed.

  • Send results from Postman Monitors to Teams. Set up a Postman Monitor integration to automatically send the results of each monitor run to a Teams channel.

Set up the Postman app for Microsoft Teams to start collaborating with your team in 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.
