Due to [retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/retirement-of-office-365-connectors-within-microsoft-teams/), this node will be deprecated. From now on, you can make use of [Send channel message node](/docs/automation/integration/microsoft-teams/send-message-to-teams-channel-v2) which is built upon connector type recommended by Microsoft.
The **Send Channel Message** node allows you to create a business-oriented workflow for sending notifications to your team members in a Microsoft Teams channel. For example, you may send notifications immediately after a deviation occurs in your workspace. ## Prerequisites --- Create [an incoming webhook in Microsoft Teams](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/add-incoming-webhook) and [learn how to build it JSON request body](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/connectors-using?tabs=cURL). ## Node configuration --- 1. Click the node. 2. On the pop-up, click **Create connection**. 3. In the **Incoming webhook URL** field, enter the webhook you created [earlier](#prerequisites). **Result**:
