A New, Simpler Microsoft Teams Integration For Redgate Monitor

Microsoft is retiring Microsoft 365 (Office 365) connectors on 31 March 2026. After that date, any Redgate Monitor alert notifications configured through the old connector method will stop appearing in Teams.

From Redgate Monitor 14.1.0, there’s now a new and much simpler way to do it. Just paste in your new Microsoft Workflows URL endpoint for Teams, and Redgate Monitor sends the notification and automatically formats the alert payload using an Adaptive Card. The result? Alert notifications that are more secure, easier to configure, and look great directly in Teams.

The New Way: Workflows + Adaptive Cards

Here is Redgate Monitor’s simple way to set up alert notifications for Teams:

1. Generate a Workflows webhook URL for your chosen Teams channel.
2. Paste that URL into Redgate Monitor and you’re done.

Whenever an alert is raised, updated or closed, Redgate Monitor sends a notification to the configured Team channel, via Microsoft’s Power Automate workflow.

Redgate Monitor automatically formats the notifications using an Adaptive Card, ensuring they look great and feel native inside Teams. No need to build or test custom payloads!

See full setup instructions in the documentation.

What Are Adaptive Cards?

Adaptive Cards let services like Redgate Monitor send rich, interactive content, such as an alert notification, that adapts automatically to the look and feel of the host platform. For example:

• In Skype, it looks like a Skype card.
• In Microsoft Teams, the same JSON payload renders as a Teams-native card.

That means your Redgate Monitor alerts are instantly readable and visually consistent without any manual styling.

Why Switch Now?

• Required – Office 365 connector webhooks are being deprecated.
• Better governance and security – Workflow-based webhooks use Entra ID–based authentication and are easier to manage.
• No more payload wrangling – Redgate Monitor builds the Adaptive Card for you. The same payload “lights up” correctly across all supported hosts.
• Future-ready – Built on Microsoft’s latest Power Automate infrastructure.

If you haven’t made the switch yet, now’s the perfect time to take advantage of Adaptive Cards and Power Automate workflows. Check out the latest release of Redgate Monitor and try it out.
