Hello,
With the boom of meeting software, and collaborative environments, we have been working extra hours on teams, I was starting to wonder if there was a way we can send notifications directly from mega to teams with least amount of efforts.
So here is a very lazy solution to send workflow notifications directly to a teams channel with web hooks (Can also be used with email groups etc.). Now most of you already tried it and may have succeeded with a better solution following is mine, which may help someone looking for something similar:
Following steps are pretty simple self explanatory however if you wish to see this in action there is a video link as well: https://youtu.be/sUFOAzT9iJI
Steps
Step 1: Create a channel in Teams
Step 2: Create a "Web hook" Connector on the channel
Step 3: Copy the connector URL from the teams
Step 4: Create a new action with a new macro on any transition you deem worthy
Step 5: use the following code as a reference for the macro<Don't forget to replace URL with your connector url>
Step 6: Run the workflow and see the check the fun part
Dim mgRoot
Set mgRoot = objWorkflowContextAction.GetRoot
Dim mgobjWorkflowSubject
Set mgobjWorkflowSubject = objWorkflowContextAction.GetWorkflowSubject
Dim mgobjCurrentWorkflowStatusInstance
Set mgobjCurrentWorkflowStatusInstance = objWorkflowContextAction.GetCurrentWorkflowStatusInstance
Dim objHTTP, URL, user
set user = mgRoot.getobjectfromid(mgRoot.currentenvironment.GetCurrentUserid)
Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
URL = "<Connector URL>"
objHTTP.Open "POST", URL, False
objHTTP.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"
objHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
objHTTP.send("{'text':'Hello World from mega'}")
Set mgobjWorkflowSubject = Nothing
Set mgRoot = Nothing
Set mgobjCurrentWorkflowStatusInstance = Nothing
ExecuteAction= ""
Limitations: Server must be connected to internet or atleast be allowed to connect to the connector URL.
