Want to inform your team about a new purchase order request? Want feedback for the upcoming product launch design?
You can automatically send a customized message to a Microsoft Teams room at any point in your Next Matter process.
Follow these steps to automatically inform your team about your work progress:
Create the Next Matter Bot in your Microsoft Teams room
- In Microsoft Teams, choose More options (⋯) next to the channel name and then choose Connectors.
- Scroll through the list of Connectors to Incoming Webhook, and choose Add.
- Enter "Next Matter" as the name for the webhook, upload this image and choose Create.
- Copy the webhook to the clipboard and save it. You'll need it later on.
- Choose Done.
Create the Automation in your Next Matter process
- Open the process editor of the process.
- Add the "HTTP Request" at the intended point
- Select the "gear" on the right hand side to configure the message
- Select "POST" and as URL copy the Webhook URL from the previous step
- Add a new header with "content-type" and "application/json"
- Create the message in the body, of course you can use data referencing to insert process information (code sample at the bottom)
- Hit Save
