MS-Teams

A lightweight Ruby gem to send actionable message cards to an Office 365 group (Microsoft Teams)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "ms_teams"

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ms_teams

Usage

Sending a simple message with just text:

The most-barebones your message will be will include at least:

• url: The Incoming Webhook connector generated via Teams
• text: The text of the message you are sending

Example:

require "ms_teams"

message = MsTeams::Message.new do |m|
    m.url = "https://outlook.office.com/...."
    m.text = "Hello World!"
end

message.send

You can build the message with any supported card fields. This example is taken directly from Microsoft Docs

require "ms_teams"

message = MsTeams::Message.new do |m|
    m.url = "https://outlook.office.com/...."
    m.themeColor = "0072C6"
    m.title = "Visit the Outlook Dev Portal"
    m.text = "Click **Learn More** to learn more about Actionable Messages!"
    m.potentialAction = [
        {
            "@type": "ActionCard",
            "name": "Send Feedback",
            "inputs": [{
                "@type": "TextInput",
                "id": "feedback",
                "isMultiline": true,
                "title": "Let us know what you think about Actionable Messages"
            }],
            "actions": [{
                "@type": "HttpPOST",
                "name": "Send Feedback",
                "isPrimary": true,
                "target": "http://..."
            }]
        },
        {
            "@type": "OpenUri",
            "name": "Learn More",
            "targets": [
                { "os": "default", "uri": "https://docs.microsoft.com/outlook/actionable-messages" }
            ]
        }
    ]
end


# You can edit any field after the message has been built by modifying the `builder` object
message.builder.text = "Something new"

message.send

Error Handling:

A non-2xx response code will raise a MsTeams::Message::FailedRequest error

# ...
begin
    message.send
rescue MsTeams::Message::FailedRequest => e
    # Do stuff
end

Building an invalid message object will immediately raise an error

message = MsTeams::Message.new do |m|
    # no url set
    m.text = "Hello World"
end

> ArgumentError (`url` cannot be nil. Must be set during initialization)
