Overview#
This guide explains how to connect Microsoft Teams to WatchDog Security using OAuth authentication.Once connected, WatchDog can deliver organization-level notifications and alerts directly to Microsoft Teams channels through the Notification Center.Notifications are sent using the identity of the user who creates the integration, and can be configured to target specific Teams and channels.
What WatchDog Monitors#
This integration is used for notification delivery only. WatchDog does not collect or modify data within Microsoft Teams.
Requirements#

The user connecting the integration is a member of the Team(s) where notifications will be sent

Important Behavior#
Understanding how notifications are delivered is critical for correct setup.
Notifications are sent using the identity of the user who connects the integration
The user must be a member of the Team and channel where alerts will be delivered
If the user is removed from the Team, notifications to that channel may fail
Channel visibility is limited to Teams the user has access to during setup
