Using Opsgenie’s Microsoft Teams Bot

If your Opsgenie account is not verified you cannot use the Microsoft Teams Bot and the Bot does not respond any of the commands that you send.

If you're using Opsgenie's Free or Essentials plan or if you’re using Opsgenie with Jira Service Management's Standard plan, you can add this integration from your team dashboard only. The Integrations page under Settings is not available in your plan.

  1. Go to Teams and select your team.

  2. Select Integrations on the left navigation and then select Add integration.

Adding the integration from your team dashboard will make your team the owner of the integration. This means Opsgenie will assign the alerts received through this integration to your team only. Follow the rest of the steps in this section to set up the integration.

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations. Search for Microsoft Teams and select Add

  2. Copy the API key on the integration page.
