Getting "Invalid webhook request - GET not supported" while using it with Adverity application.

Question

Hi,

I am able to create an Incoming webhook in MS Teams and test it successfully by following the steps in the Create Incoming Webhooks guide. When setting up notifications and alerts in the Adverity application. The following error message appears after I followed the steps outlined in the Adverity documentation.

Error message: "Invalid webhook request - GET not supported"

With Postman, I am able to test the Incoming Webhook, but with Adverity, I get the following error message. Have trouble figuring out the root cause of this issue? I would appreciate any help or suggestions you can give me to resolve this issue.

Answer 1

Incoming Webhooks help in posting messages from apps to Teams.
Incoming Webhooks are enabled for a team in any channel, it exposes the HTTPS endpoint, which accepts correctly formatted JSON and inserts the messages into that channel.

In your scenario you have to send the alert to external application.
For this scenario you have to use Outgoing webhooks.
With Outgoing Webhooks, you can send alerts to the external applications.
