Grant access from your Teams workspace to Snapshots API using your API key or OAuth credentials to secure data flow between systems.
Provide Teams with permissions to receive data from Snapshots API via a webhook or direct API calls for seamless notifications.
– GET /locations — Retrieve all locations available to sync with Teams. – Other endpoints are placeholders for future expansion and will be documented as they become available.
Trigger: A location record is created or updated in Snapshots API, which posts a message to your Teams channel.
Actions: Push key fields (location_name, location_id, updated_at) to a Teams channel via an incoming webhook.
Method Path: Use GET /locations to fetch data and post via webhook to Teams.
Key Fields: location_id, location_name, updated_at
Trigger: Status changes detected in Snapshots API.
Actions: Notify Teams with status, location_id, and timestamp.
Method Path: GET /locations?status=changed and POST to webhook.
Key Fields: status, location_id, updated_at
Trigger: Daily scheduled report from Snapshots API.
Actions: Send a compiled report payload to a Teams channel.
Method Path: POST to webhook with a formatted report payload.
Key Fields: report_id, generated_at, metrics
Real-time push of data to Teams without writing code, reducing manual workflows.
Automate routine notifications and summary reports directly in Teams.
Centralize collaboration by keeping teams informed in one conversation thread.
Overview of core elements and processes for connecting Snapshots API with Teams, including endpoints, webhooks, and authentication.
Definition: A set of rules that lets two software systems communicate and exchange data.
Definition: A lightweight mechanism for one app to push real-time data to another via HTTP POST.
Definition: A specific URL in an API that performs a defined function and returns data.
Definition: An open standard for token-based authorization that grants access without sharing credentials.
Display current locations in a dedicated Teams tab, updating in real-time as Snapshots API data changes.
Automatically post daily status summaries to Teams with key KPIs and recent changes.
Create a widget or tab that highlights critical incidents with live data from Snapshots API.
In Teams, add an incoming webhook connector and copy the URL to configure in Snapshots API.
Set up the integration to post location data or status updates to the Teams webhook using GET /locations or query-based endpoints.
Trigger test messages from Snapshots API and verify delivery in Teams; enable retries and logging.
Snapshots API is a structured interface that allows Teams to access and receive data from your Snapshots account without manual exports. It enables event-driven notifications and automated updates directly into Teams channels. To get started, obtain API access, authorize the connection, and select the data you want to push (e.g., locations, statuses).
To connect, configure an incoming webhook in Teams and provide its URL to Snapshots API. Then enable the location or status endpoints you need (such as GET /locations) so that Snapshots API posts data to Teams automatically. Test the integration by triggering a sample event and verifying the message appears in the correct channel.
No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed as a no-code or low-code workflow using webhooks or built-in connectors. You configure authentication, endpoint selections, and the webhook URL, then map key fields for meaningful messages in Teams.
Yes. You can customize the message format, include specific fields (location_name, status, timestamp), and adjust how data is presented in Teams. Use payload templates or message cards to control layout and styling.
At minimum, GET /locations is available for retrieval of location data. Additional endpoints can be added as your needs grow; refer to the API documentation when expanding the integration to cover more data points and actions.
Authentication is required to secure data exchange between Snapshots API and Teams. Use API keys or OAuth tokens, and keep credentials confidential. OAuth grants access without sharing user passwords.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
