SYNOPSIS

Sample usage to post notifications using Microsoft::Teams::WebHook

DESCRIPTION

Microsoft::Teams::WebHook

Set of helpers to send plain or AdaptiveCard notifications

Constructor attributes

url [required]

The backend url for your Teams webhook

json [optional]

This is optional and allow you to provide an alternate JSON object to format the output sent to post queries.

One JSON::MaybeXS with the flavor of your choice. By default utf8 = 0, pretty = 1.

auto_detect_utf8 [default=true] [optional]

You can provide a boolean to automatically try to detect utf8 strings and enable the utf8 flag.

This is on by default but you can disable it by using

my $hook = Slack::WebHook->new( ..., auto_detect_utf8 => 0 );

METHODS

new( [url => "https://..." ] )

This is the constructor for Microsoft::Teams::WebHook. You should provide the url for your webhook. You should visit the official Microsoft documentation page for information on how to create this URL.

post( $message )

The post method allows you to post a single message without applying any formatting. The return value is the return of HTTP::Tiny::post which is one Hash Ref. The success field will be true if the status code is 2xx.

The other post_* methods format the message contents in AdaptiveCards whereas this method allows you to send a simple, unformatted plaintext message or provide a HashRef structure (which will be converted to a JSON string) for custom AdaptiveCards.

post_ok( $message, [ @list ])

Post a message to the Teams WebHook URL. There are two methods of calling a post_* method.

You may either pass a simple string argument to the function

Microsoft::Teams::WebHook->new(url => ...)->post_ok( q{posting a simple "ok" text} );

or you can pass a hash (not a hashref!) with a required text key

Microsoft::Teams::WebHook->new(url => ...)->post_ok(text => q{your notification message});

Using the latter form, you may also optionally add title and text_color (for post_ok only!) keys to set those additional parameters in the resulting AdaptiveCard. If text_color is specified, it must be one of the allowed AdaptiveCard colors (see documentation) which as of this writing are: default, dark, light, accent, good, warning, and attention.

Microsoft::Teams::WebHook->new(url => ...)->post_ok(
  title      => q{YOUR NOTIFICATION TITLE},
  text       => q{your notification message},
  text_color => 'light'
);

post_ok defaults to good text color if none is given.

The return value of the post_* method is one HTTP::Tiny response, a HashRef containing the success field, which is true on success.

post_warning( $message, [ @list ])

Similar to post_ok, but the color used to display the message is warning and cannot be overridden.

post_info( $message, [ @list ])

Similar to post_ok, but the color used to display the message is accent and cannot be overridden.

post_error( $message, [ @list ])

Similar to post_ok, but the color used to display the message is attention and cannot be overridden.

post_start( $message, [ @list ])

Similar to post_ok, but the color used to display the message is accent and cannot be overridden. Additionally, this method starts a timer, which is used by post_end.

post_warning( $message, [ @list ])

Similar to post_ok, but the default color used to display the message is good. An additional italicized, default-colored line is appended to the AdaptiveCard which displays a human-readable format of the elapsed time since post_start was called.

If post_start was not previously called (or not called since the last post_end) the timer is considered to have no value and the elapsed time section will not be added.

CREDITS

This module is heavily based on the excellent work done on Slack::WebHook (and as such intended to be largely drop-in compatible)
