Microsoft Teams with Geins Webhooks

This guide demonstrates how to set up a webhook to send a notification to a Microsoft Teams channel on various events an order can go through in Geins.

Introduction​

Microsoft Teams is a popular messaging app for teams. It provides a platform for team communication and collaboration. Microsoft Teams also supports webhooks, which can be used to send notifications to a Teams channel. This can be useful for sending notifications about events in Geins, such as when an order is locked or when a new customer is created.

Setting up webhook for locked order​

This example demonstrates how to set up a webhook that triggers on locked orders and sends a notification to a Microsoft Teams channel. The notification includes a button linking to the OMS for detailed order review.

  • Step 1: Configure the incoming webhook in teams. Please refer to the Teams documentation
  • Step 2: Set up the webhook to listen for lock actions on the Order entity.
