Website Monitoring Alerts for Microsoft Teams
Keep website monitoring where your team already collaborates. When Site Detection detects that your site is down, it posts an alert into a Microsoft Teams channel, and posts a recovery notification when the site is back. Setup uses a Teams Workflows or incoming-webhook connection and a paste into Site Detection.
Downtime + recovery alerts • Per-channel On/Off • Test button included
Set Up Microsoft Teams Downtime Alerts
Six steps connect Site Detection to Microsoft Teams. You create an incoming webhook for a Teams channel, then add a Microsoft Teams channel in Site Detection and paste the URL.
Create a Teams incoming webhook
In Microsoft Teams, add an incoming webhook to the channel you want — either through Workflows or a channel connector — so it can receive posted messages.
Copy the webhook URL
Teams generates a URL for that channel. Copy it — this is what Site Detection uses to post alerts.
Open Alerts in Site Detection
In Site Detection, go to Alerts and add a new channel of type Microsoft Teams.
Paste the webhook URL
Paste the Teams webhook URL into the channel and save it. This tells Site Detection where to send alerts.
Send a test
Use the test button to send a sample alert and confirm it appears in the Teams channel you chose.
Choose which monitors it covers
Assign the Teams channel to the monitors that should use it. Each monitor can use several channels at once.
What a Teams Alert Looks Like
When downtime is detected and confirmed, Site Detection posts a message like this into your channel.
example.com is unreachable.
Monitor: Marketing site · Detected after multiple failed checks.
example.com is reachable again.
Monitor: Marketing site · Recovery notification.
Because Site Detection confirms downtime with multiple checks before alerting, a Teams message means the site was genuinely unreachable — not just a single momentary blip.
Teams, Slack, and More
Microsoft Teams is one of several chat channels. Combine whatever your team uses.

Start Monitoring Your WebsiteFrequently Asked Questions
How do I get website down alerts in Microsoft Teams?
In Microsoft Teams, create an incoming webhook for the channel you want (via Workflows or a channel connector), copy the webhook URL, then open Alerts in Site Detection, add a Microsoft Teams channel, and paste the URL. Send a test to confirm delivery and choose which monitors use it. When downtime is detected, the alert is posted into that Teams channel.
How fast do Microsoft Teams alerts arrive?
Site Detection posts a Teams alert when downtime is detected and confirmed with multiple checks, not on a single failed check. This avoids false alarms from a momentary blip while still notifying your channel when the site is genuinely unreachable.
Will I get a Teams message when the site comes back up?
Yes. Along with the downtime alert, Site Detection posts a recovery notification to the same Teams channel when the site is reachable again, so your team sees both the start and the end of an incident.
Can I turn the Teams channel off or test it?
Yes. The Microsoft Teams channel has its own On/Off switch and a test button in Site Detection. Use the test button to send a sample message and confirm delivery, and toggle the channel off at any time without deleting its settings.
