How this automation works

Notify your team in Microsoft Teams when a new item is added to a SharePoint list. This Applet runs whenever you add an item to the SharePoint list you choose and posts the item's title and a link to the Microsoft Teams channel you select. It's ideal for request tracking, approvals, and onboarding so stakeholders see new entries immediately in SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

About Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint is Microsoft's content and collaboration platform for organizations. Teams use it to securely store, organize, and share files, build team sites and intranet portals, and manage documents and knowledge in one place. It works alongside the rest of Microsoft 365 — Teams, Word, Excel, and Copilot — so content stays connected to where people already work.
