Send Action Notification from Orange Tracker to Microsoft Teams
Orange Tracker can be integrated into Microsoft Teams so that any time an action occurs within Orange Tracker (i.e. Issue Created, Issue Updated), a message can be sent to a Microsoft Teams channel. This is done through configurations in both environments through automations, workflows, and webhooks. This will generate an Adaptive Card in an MS Teams Channel similar to the following screenshot:
