I have MS Teams working with ActiveCard 1.2 format and webhooks. I'm happy with the format. My issue is that MS Teams channels via webhook don't yet support @mentions, so the only way to really filter is to have different alerts go to different channels for the various teams. I'd really like to do this with 1 alert - the problem is I need a variable working in the URL box. Right now, variables are rejected for some reason. Is there a way to get this box to accept a variable so I don't have to make 15 duplicate copies of the same alert with a different URL in each one? It's just frustrating when you run into little quirks like this.
See sample image - the red highlight is not accepted unless I put a raw URL in there.
Also for reference, here is my ActiveCard I'm using. The card has several action buttons and an expanding info window that gives out some of our custom fields. Here is the compact card:
Here is the same card expanded with more information about the system:
Here is the body of the Post for a Down alert. I do pull in a lot of custom fields so if you want to use this format you might need to remove them.
