Connect Microsoft Teams to GitHub

I have been trying to connect MS teams to GitHub, so anytime there is a pull request or push made, it will send an update to MS teams group channel.

I followed the instructions here to create a webhook. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/connectors/connectors-using(Setting up a custom incoming webhook)

I was able to post a message to the webhook using powershell. I was able to verify it on the microsoft teams channel associated with the webhook url but when I try to manage the webhook using GitHub by using the PayLoad URL. I'm getting 400 response code. Bad payload received by generic incoming webhook.

Help will be greatly appreciated.

There are two ways you can achieve this easily. Because you are using Microsoft Teams I believe it is easy to signup to Azure Devops board. And then make a connector to Github.

Please follow the below link

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/github/connect-to-github?view=azure-devops

Once it is successfully authenticated.

  1. In the desired channel > click three dots > Select Connectors > find the `Azure Devops connector like below

enter image description here

  1. Then you will be given with various options to send notifications to MSFT teams.

Using this in my work place. Works fab.

Second way:

  1. Instead of Azure devops from the first screen shoot > choose github.

  2. Then you will be given with options to send notifications

Hope it helps.
