MSTeams Notification

To send a notification to a Microsoft Teams channel using a WebHook in Python, you can use the `requests` library to make an HTTP POST request to the WebHook URL provided by Teams. Here's a basic example of how you can do this:

Steps to set up Teams WebHook:

1. Go to the channel where you want to send the message.

2. Click on the `...` (More options) next to the channel name.

3. Select `Connectors`.

4. Search for and add the `Incoming Webhook`.

5. Set it up by giving it a name and an icon (optional), and it will generate a WebHook URL.

6. Copy that URL; you'll use it in your Python code.

Python Code:

import requests

import json

def send_teams_message(webhook_url, message):

    # Payload to send to Teams

    payload = {

        "text": message

    }

    # Send the HTTP request to the Teams WebHook

    headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

    response = requests.post(webhook_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)

    if response.status_code == 200:

        print("Message sent successfully!")

    else:

        print(f"Failed to send message. Status code: {response.status_code}, Response: {response.text}")

# Example usage:

webhook_url = 'https://outlook.office.com/webhook/your-webhook-url-here'

message = 'This is a test notification from Python!'

send_teams_message(webhook_url, message)

Explanation:

- webhook_url: The WebHook URL generated by Teams.

- message: The content of the message you want to send to the Teams channel.

- The message is sent as a JSON payload in the POST request.

You can enhance this by customizing the payload to include additional details like a title, theme, etc., using Teams' message card format if needed.

Make sure you have the `requests` library installed. You can install it via pip:

pip install requests
