Microsoft Teams Notification

A GitHub Action that sends customizable notifications to a dedicated Microsoft Teams channel.

Usage

Add MS_TEAMS_WEBHOOK_URI on your repository's configs on Settings > Secrets. It is the Webhook URI of the dedicated Microsoft Teams channel for notification.

Add a new step on your workflow code below actions/checkout@v4:

name: MS Teams Notification

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      # this is the new step using the ms-teams-notification action
      - name: Notify dedicated teams channel
        uses: jdcargile/ms-teams-notification@v1.4
        with:
          github-token: ${{ github.token }} # this will use the runner's token.
          ms-teams-webhook-uri: ${{ secrets.MS_TEAMS_WEBHOOK_URI }}
          notification-summary: Your custom notification message 
          notification-color: 17a2b8
          timezone: America/Denver
          verbose-logging: true

Make it your own with the following configurations.
- github-token - (required), set to the following:
  - ${{ github.token }}
- ms-teams-webhook-uri - (required), setup a new secret to store your Microsoft Teams Webhook URI (ex. MS_TEAMS_WEBHOOK_URI). Learn more about setting up GitHub Secrets or Microsoft Teams Incoming Webhook.
- notification-summary (required), Your custom notification message (ex. Deployment Started or Build Successful)
- notification-color (optional), Custom color to help distinguish type of notification. Can be any HEX color. (ex. 007bff or 17a2b8 for info, 28a745 success, ffc107 warning, dc3545 error, etc.)
- timezone - (optional, defaults to UTC), a valid database timezone name, (ex. Australia/Sydney or America/Denver, etc.)
- verbose-logging - (optional, defaults to false), Emits additional logging showing the sent message card and response from the webhook.

Examples

As you can see below, the notification-summary and notification-color are being used to customize the appearance of the message. Use bright vibrant colors to notify your Microsoft Teams channel of warnings or errors in your GitHub Actions workflow.

Emojis

Emoji support isn't great for incoming webhooks on Microsoft Teams yet. You can hack your way through it using HEX codes. For example, in notification-summary I used Emojify! &#x1F6A2 ✅ for the following screenshot. HEX codes for emojis here.
