Send Postman Monitor notifications to your Microsoft Teams channels

You can set up Postman Monitors to automatically send monitor results to a Microsoft Teams channel or group chat. Each time the monitor runs, you’ll get notified in Teams. Alternatively, you can create a Microsoft Teams workflow to connect your monitors to your Teams channels. When Postman runs your monitor, you’ll get notified in the Teams channel of your choice.

Configure monitors to send notifications to Microsoft Teams

You can connect a Microsoft Teams channel or group chat when you create a new monitor or when you edit an existing monitor.

To send Postman Monitor results to Microsoft Teams from Monitors, do the following:

Click Services then expand Monitors in the sidebar.

1. Click and select Monitor from the list.
2. When you configure your new monitor, on the Create Monitor page, under Notifications, select Notify a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel or chat.
3. Click Connect Microsoft Teams. A browser tab opens with a warning that you are being redirected to complete the authorization on the Microsoft site.
4. Click Continue. If the app has been correctly configured in Teams, the authorization is successful and you are redirected back to Postman.
5. On the Postman Monitors page, select a Microsoft Teams channel or group chat in which to receive notifications in the Connect Microsoft Teams popup window.
6. Choose whether to receive notifications for every completed run or after three consecutive failures and a successful run after the failures. You’ll receive a confirmation message in the selected Microsoft Teams channel or group chat once the connection is established.

After connecting the Microsoft Teams channel or group chat, Postman sends monitor results based on the selected settings.

Create a Microsoft Teams workflow

You can use a Microsoft Teams webhook URL to connect Teams and Postman. For example, you can send Postman Monitor results to your Teams channel.

To create a Microsoft Teams workflow, do the following:

1. Sign in to your Microsoft Teams account.
2. Open an existing Teams channel or create a new one.
3. Next to your channel, click More options > Workflows.
4. Search for “Post to a channel when a webhook request is received” and select the workflow.
5. (Optional) Rename your workflow or edit your connection.
6. Click Next.
7. (Optional) Choose a different team or channel.
8. Click Add workflow.
9. Copy the webhook URL and save it somewhere for later use. You’ll need it to connect Teams and Postman.
