Question

Your team uses GitHub for source control and Microsoft Teams for collaboration. Whenever a release is published in a GitHub repository, the operations channel in Teams must receive an automated message containing the release tag and notes. You want the integration to react in real time to the specific GitHub event without polling and without granting Teams broad access to the repository. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Create a GitHub webhook on the repository scoped to the 'release' event that posts to a Teams incoming webhook (workflow) URL.

Answer

Add a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that queries the Releases API every 5 minutes and posts new releases to Teams.

Answer

Install the Azure Boards app in the Teams channel and link the GitHub repository through Boards integration.

Answer

Configure a Teams outgoing webhook that subscribes to the GitHub repository's release feed.
