Microsoft Teams

Causely can send causal insights directly to Microsoft Teams channels, helping engineering and IT teams stay informed and aligned during incidents. Alerts include high-context diagnostics, like impacted services, severity, and a clear summary, so you can take action quickly without switching tools.

Configuration​

To integrate Microsoft Teams with Causely, you must install the Causelybot and configure it as your Microsoft Teams webhook endpoint. The bot listens for alerts from the Causely platform and posts them to your desired Microsoft Teams channels.

  1. Follow the installation instructions for the Causelybot in the official GitHub repository: Causelybot

  2. Once deployed, update your causely-values.yaml file to include the executor and the bot's URL endpoint.

For example, if you deploy the Causelybot in the foo namespace of your cluster, you can configure the webhook endpoint in your causely-values.yaml file like this:

executor:
  enabled: true

notifications:
  webhook:
    url: 'http://<CAUSELYBOT_FQDN/IP>:5000/webhook'
    token: '<YOUR_CAUSELYBOT_TOKEN>'
    enabled: true
note

Make sure the Causelybot is accessible from your Causely deployment and properly configured to post to your Microsoft Teams workspace and channel. Ensure the Microsoft Teams channel webhook is set up to accept incoming messages and that the Causelybot has access permissions.

To install the Causely agent with the Microsoft Teams integration enabled, run:

causely agent install --cluster-name <cluster-name> --values ./causely-values.yaml
