Notifications to the Microsoft Teams channels
Keep your team members informed about all significant updates.
The Advanced Microsoft Teams Confluence Connector allows for notifications to be sent to Microsoft Teams channels based on different settings levels: content, space, or global.
Content level
At the content level, Confluence users can configure notifications for specific Confluence pages, blog posts, or other content items. When a user enables content-level notifications for a particular page, they will receive updates in the associated Microsoft Teams channel whenever changes are made to that specific page. This provides a targeted and granular approach to staying informed about changes relevant to specific content items.
Where to find app settings on Content level?
Go to the Confluence page you want to receive notifications from.
Click on the Microsoft Teams icon at the top of the page
Or find Microsoft Teams app in the More Actions (3-dots) menu.
Space level
At the space level, users can set up notifications for an entire Confluence space (also known as a project). By enabling space-level notifications, users will receive updates in the linked Microsoft Teams channel whenever any changes occur within that space. This allows users to stay informed about updates related to all content within a specific project.
Where to find app settings on Space level?
Go to the Space Settings of Confluence space you want to set up notifications for.
Move to Integrations and click on Microsoft Teams.
Global level (for Confluence Administrators)
Confluence administrators have access to the global settings of Advanced Microsoft Teams Confluence Connector. Global settings typically allow administrators to manage and configure the integration's behaviour and default settings for all users and spaces across the entire Confluence instance.
Where to find app settings on Global level?
On the global navigation menu click on Apps and select Manage Apps section.
Find our app in the user-installed apps list or click on Microsoft Teams in the left-hand sidebar.
Notification configurations
To set up notifications sent to the Microsoft Teams channels you have to create a notification rule which allows users to configure specific conditions or triggers for receiving notifications in Microsoft Teams.
To set up notifications sent to the Microsoft Teams channels:
Go to app settings on a level which meets your needs.
Log in to Microsoft Teams to connect your accounts.
Log in to Microsoft Teams button is available only before you create your first notification rule. For the next rules to get information about Microsft Teams teams and channels you have to Log in straight from rule creation modal window (Where to notify section).
Create notification rule with specified filters and Microsoft Teams channel (see the table below).
Click on Save and receive a confirmation message to the Microsoft Teams channel.
