Adding a Teams destination

The Teams notification destination type lets you send alerts to a Microsoft Teams channel via specifying a webhook URL, which you must create using Power Automate.

Adding a destination in SquaredUp

After configuring a Microsoft Teams webhook URL in Power Automate, you must configure a new notification destination in SquaredUp.

2. Click Add destination to open the Add destination window.
3. Select the Custom option. Then configure the following:
   1. Destination name:

   2. URL:
      Paste the URL you generated in Power Automate.
   3. Body:
      Copy and paste the following into the body field. You can ignore the Configuration error unable to load schema error message, as the schema is to be used by Power Automate and is not relevant to SquaredUp.
