Administration - Teams (Webhook)
From VersaVision Support
Administration is used to access important system components. There are multiple components inside Administration, this page is focused on the Microsoft Teams Channel component.
VersaVision can post messages to Teams Channel(s). This is utilized by using a Webhook that is generated by the Teams application. Each Channel will have an individual Webhook (address).
This page will concentrate on Viewing, Editing, Adding, Duplicating and Deleting a Teams Channel.
Administration can be accessed via the Home page menu or the Administration icon. Once Administration has been selected - select MS Teams (Webhook) from the menu.
