Teams - Monitor a Channel Using an RSS Feed Tutorial

Monitor a channel using an RSS feed. This tutorial explains how an RSS feed delivers new publications to you and shows how to connect a feed to a Microsoft Teams channel. Start from a ready-made template, enter the feed URL, choose the team and channel, then save. Once set up, a new article in the feed posts automatically in the selected channel.

but visiting a multitude of sites every day takes time.

00:00:12

An RSS feed elegantly solves this problem.

00:00:17

It is a standardized format that allows

00:00:19

a website to automatically distribute its new publications

00:00:24

rather than looking for information it comes to you.

00:00:27

In Microsoft Teams,

00:00:29

you can connect such a flow to a channel

00:00:32

so that every new article is published automatically within your team.

00:00:36

It's a great way to set up a shared watch

00:00:40

effortlessly and without missing anything.

00:00:43

Let's see how to do it

00:00:44

to set up this monitoring,

00:00:46

first open the workflows app.

00:00:48

We're going to start from an existing

00:00:50

model rather than building everything manually.

00:00:54

In the template search bar

00:00:56

type RSS.

00:00:58

Three templates are then offered to you

00:01:01

for our team monitoring,

00:01:02

we choose the first one.

00:01:04

Post a channel message when a new RSS feed is published.

00:01:09

Teams now ask you to fill in the address of the stream you wanna monitor.

00:01:13

Enter the feed URL of the site you're interested in here.

00:01:17

When you click in this field,

00:01:18

you may notice a message that says.

00:01:21

No trigger outputs available.

00:01:23

Don't worry,

00:01:24

it's completely normal.

00:01:26

This message simply means that at this point

00:01:29

no previous step can automatically populate this field

00:01:33

since this is the very first step in the flow.

00:01:36

So you just have to paste or enter the address of the feed yourself.

00:01:40

This is by no means a mistake.

00:01:43

Once you have entered the address,

00:01:45

indicate in which team and in which channel you want to carry out your monitoring.

00:01:51

In this example,

00:01:52

we choose the management team

00:01:54

and the general channel.

00:01:56

When everything is complete,

00:01:58

click save.

00:01:59

From now on,

00:02:00

the flow is operational.

00:02:02

Whenever a new article is published in the RSS feed.

00:02:05

It will automatically be posted as a message in this channel.
