backstage-plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-ms-teams

This is a ms-teams actions plugin for the scaffolder-backend in Backstage.

This contains a collection of actions for using to send Microsoft Teams messages.

Prerequisites

• Node must be installed in the environment

• You must have a Microsoft Teams webhook URL available to send messages to

Getting Started

In the root directory of your Backstage project:

yarn add --cwd packages/backend @grvpandey11/backstage-plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-ms-teams

Add the actions you'd like to the scaffolder:

// packages/backend/src/index.ts

...

backend.add(import('@grvpandey11/backstage-plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-ms-teams'));

Add a ms-teams configuration section to your app-config.yaml.

You can omit this by providing a webhook URL in the input of the step in your scaffolder template, but it must be present in one place or the other.

# app-config.yaml

ms-teams:
  webhookUrl: "https://your-url.com"
