How to set up a Microsoft Teams integration

If you're part of a team or supervising it, it can be tricky to keep track of the chart creations of your team members. That's why we offer a Microsoft Teams integration for all our users, including users on a free plan.

A Microsoft Teams integration will notify you in a Microsoft Teams channel of your choice whenever a chart in your workspace or team is  published or republished:

To set up a Microsoft Teams integration, go to your workspace settings in Datawrapper and navigate to your workspace or to a specific team. Click on Integrations and then then click on the Enable Microsoft Teams integration toggle: 

You will be prompted to add a Webhook URL. We explain how you will get such a URL in this article. It's a process that involves quite some steps, but it's simple and you won't need to code.

Then click on the three dots in the top right corner and then on Connectors:

A pop-up will open. Look for Incoming Webhook and then click on Add next to it:

...and paste it into the field Webhook URL in Datawrapper: 

And that's it! You should now see a configured Incoming Webhook:And, more importantly, you'll see the configured connector at work as soon as you or somebody from your workspace or team publishes or republishes a chart, map or table:
