Open the application in Microsoft Teams:
Add the ilert bot to a team

Now that the initial connection between your Microsoft Teams and ilert accounts has been set up, you may choose alert sources which should send update messages to your Microsoft Teams channels - this is done by creating Alert Actions in ilert.
Go to the alert sources tab and open the alert source whose alert's updates you want to publish into Microsoft Teams channels. Click on the Alert actions tab and then on the Add new alert action button.
On the next page choose Microsoft Teams as the type, choose the connector created before, name your action**,** choose Chat as Teams Action, choose Your team, then choose Your channel and click on the Save button.
Finished! You can now test the connection by clicking on the button Test this connection. Thereafter, a test message will be posted in your Microsoft Teams channel.
