Post a daily scheduled message to Microsoft Teams
How this automation works
Alert your team in Microsoft Teams when a You Need a Budget category goes over its budget. The Applet runs whenever You Need a Budget detects a category overspent for the current month and posts a message to the Microsoft Teams channel you select. It's useful for finance teams, households, or small businesses who want real-time budget alerts from You Need a Budget in Microsoft Teams to act on overspending quickly. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
