# Lampwick alerts in Microsoft Teams

> Send Lampwick alerts and new or reopened issues to a Microsoft Teams channel through a Workflows webhook. Team owners set it up in a minute.

An alert channel posts a team's alerts, and its new and reopened issues, to a Microsoft Teams channel. Push notifications and e-mail keep going out as well.

## What you get

- **Down** and **Up again** for uptime monitors, SSL and domain expiry, **DNS records changed**, **Broken links**, and **Missed**, **Failed** or **Slow** scheduled tasks.
- New and reopened **Issues**, with the exception class; turn on **Include exception messages in issue notifications** for the message too.
- What happened, the reason and a link to the dashboard, never a URL's query string.
- For all projects of a team, or for one project.

## Set it up

1. In Microsoft Teams, open **Workflows** and create a workflow from the template "Post to a channel when a webhook request is received". Pick the channel and copy the `https://` URL it gives you.
2. In Lampwick, click **Alert channels** in the sidebar.
3. Under **Add a channel**, pick **Microsoft Teams** as the **Kind**, give it a **Name** and paste the **Webhook URL**.
4. Under **Alerts of**, pick **All projects** of a team or one project, and click **Add channel**.
5. On the channel's page, click **Send test message**.

Only team owners add channels; members see them. The URL is stored encrypted and never shown again, only its host.

## Ask your agent

When an alert lands in Teams, paste it into an agent that is [connected to Lampwick](/integrations/mcp/):

```text
Lampwick just alerted in Teams: "SSL certificate expires in 7 days" for shop.example.com. Check that monitor's certificate details in Lampwick and tell me which certificate to renew and where it is served.
```

## Next step

The [alerts docs](/docs/alerts/#alert-channels) cover the hourly limits, retries and the **Deliveries** log of each channel.
