To add the Incoming Webhook connector in a Microsoft Teams channel: In Microsoft Teams, select Apps on the left navigation bar. Search for 'Incoming Webhook' and select 'Add to a team'. Select the existing channel to create the notifications for. Select 'Set up a connector'. Provide a name and select Create.
