Posting to Teams Channels in 2026

[Forrest Kelley]

With Webhooks being depreciated December 2025, what is the official ServiceNow best practice for posting a notification to a Teams Channel?

[Dr Atul G- LNG]

Hi @Forrest Kelley 

You can use Microsoft Teams Graph Spoke to send incident details to Teams Channel,

Spoke flows

The Microsoft Teams Graph spoke provides a sample flow, Post ServiceNow Incident Worknotes Updates to Microsoft Teams Chat, to demonstrate automating the task of posting a Microsoft Teams chat message to the assigned user with details about the latest work notes added to the incident.

Spoke subflows

The Microsoft Teams Graph spoke provides samples subflows to demonstrate automating the tasks. To customize a sample flow, copy it to the required application scope. Available sample subflows include:

Microsoft Teams Graph spoke subflows

Subflow	Description
Post Incident Details	Posts details of the required incident to a Microsoft Teams channel.
Process Inbound Notifications	Retrieves the details of the specified message based on the input data received from webhook subscription.
Renew Webhook Subscription Helper Subflow	Renews a subscription if renewal is required, which is decided based upon inputs.
Renew Webhook Subscriptions	Retrieves all the webhook subscriptions and renews them if renewal is required.
Subscribe Webhook	Creates a webhook subscription for the specified team's channel.

Thank you for your response. Can this be used with tables other than Incident such as Demand or Cases with HRSD? Can this be used with custom tables?

[Dr Atul G- LNG]

I think notification action can be used with other tables.
