This document explains the process of using MS Teams as an alert platform in the Nightfall application.

Currently, you can use MS Teams as an alert platform only in the Microsoft OneDrive for Business and MS Teams integrations.

Prerequisites

  • You must have credentials to an MS Teams admin account.

  1. Select the Upload an app to your organisation’s app catalogue option.

  1. Upload the Nightfall package obtained from your Nightfall CSM. The Nightfall Alerts app is available in your organisation’s Teams app catalogue once you upload the package.

  2. Search the term Nightfall in the Teams search bar. You must now be able to see the Nightfall Alerts app.

  1. Click Add for the Nightfall Alerts app.

You can select a public channel over there and the alerts are sent to the selected channel. The app would post alert messages to the selected channel and you can also @mention Nightfall Alerts to chat with it.
