Configuring Microsoft Teams Incoming Webhook

ESCRIBA ECAP Configuration

1. Log in to your ESCRIBA ECAP (formerly AgileApps) account.
2. Go to Configuration > Developer Resources > Classes.
3. Create a new class or select an existing one.
4. Configure the webhook URL obtained from Microsoft Teams.
   Sample code:

import com.platform.api.*;
import [java.io](http://java.io/).*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import com.platform.api.*;
import com.platform.api.utility.*;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.TypeReference;

public void TeamsIntegration(Parameters p) throws Exception {

//try block for TeamWebHook-API Innovcation

try{

[Logger.info](http://logger.info/)("Inside TeamsWebhook...", "TeamsWebhook");

String input = p.get("type_field_name_here");

String Message = "";

// prepare request body

Map<String, String> inputMap = new HashMap<String, String>();

inputMap.put("text", Message);

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

String plainJson = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(inputMap);

// make api call

HttpConnection con = new HttpConnection(CONSTANTS.HTTP.METHOD.POST, "Paste_your_webhook_URL);

con.setRequestBody(plainJson, "application/json", "UTF-8");

int code = con.execute();

[Logger.info](http://logger.info/)("API response code: " + code, "TeamsWebhook");

String response = con.getResponse();

[Logger.info](http://logger.info/)("Response: " + response, "TeamsWebhook");

}

catch (Exception e) {

Logger.debug("Exception: " + e.getMessage(), "ChatPrompt");

}

Note: For on-prem customers, the jar files import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; and import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.TypeReference; must be added manually.
