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 "Integration Step" 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
