Do I need Power Automate for this?

No separate licence is needed for the Workflows template: it runs on Power Automate behind the scenes but is included with Teams. You only need Power Automate itself if you want to do more than post a card, such as writing to SharePoint.

Can I post to a private channel or a group chat?

The Workflows template targets a channel you choose when you create it. Microsoft offers a similar template for chats; whatever URL it produces can be added as a Teams endpoint, as long as it accepts an Adaptive Card.

Will cancellations or reschedules post to Teams?

No. BookingsXP sees the booking when it is made through the widget. Changes made later in Microsoft Bookings or Outlook do not pass through BookingsXP.

Is the card the same as the email Microsoft Bookings sends?

It adds what the email lacks for a team: the traffic source, medium and campaign, the BXP reference that also appears in the booking notes, and a single place everyone can see.

Alerts & automation

Microsoft Bookings alerts in Teams channels

Microsoft Bookings emails the customer and staff member, but it does not post to a shared Teams channel, and it has no webhooks you could wire up yourself. BookingsXP posts an Adaptive Card to the channel of your choice when a widget booking is confirmed, using the Workflows app built into Teams.

Integration: Microsoft Teams
Plan: Pro: Needs Pro ($9 a month or $90 a year), Business ($29 a month) or Enterprise.
In short: An Adaptive Card in a Teams channel for each booking: who, what, when, and the campaign that brought them.
Microsoft Bookings: Stays your system of record. Bookings land in Outlook and Teams and Microsoft sends the invites and reminders.
Trademarks: Microsoft Teams is a trademark of the Microsoft group of companies. BookingsXP is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.

What happens with Microsoft Teams

In Teams you create a Workflows flow from the template "Send webhook alerts to a channel" (formerly "Post to a channel when a webhook request is received"). Teams gives you a URL.
You add that URL in BookingsXP as a Microsoft Teams endpoint. On each booking.created event, BookingsXP posts an Adaptive Card (version 1.4) to it.
The card's title reads "New booking: <customer> · <service> · <time>", followed by facts for Service, When (in the booking's time zone), With (staff), Source (source / medium · campaign), Customer (name and email) and Reference (BXP-…).
Failed deliveries are retried with backoff up to 8 times over about two hours, and every attempt is listed in the dashboard's delivery log.

Set up Microsoft Teams

4 steps. Names of menus and buttons are as they appear today; vendors rename things, so look for the closest match.

Step 1: Turn on Store bookings for the widget
Alerts carry customer details, so they only fire for widgets that keep a copy of bookings. Dashboard → widget → Data & access → "Store bookings in BookingsXP".
Step 2: Create the Workflows flow in Teams
In the channel, open the ••• menu → Workflows, and pick "Send webhook alerts to a channel" (formerly "Post to a channel when a webhook request is received"). Name it, confirm the team and channel, and finish. Teams shows the webhook URL; copy it.
Step 3: Add the endpoint in BookingsXP
Dashboard → Integrations → Add an endpoint → Microsoft Teams. Give it a name (for example "Sales channel"), paste the URL, and choose All widgets or one widget. Click Add endpoint.
Step 4: Send a test
Click Test next to the endpoint. The channel should show "BookingsXP test notification — your endpoint is connected." The dashboard shows the HTTP status and time taken.

What you get

A channel card within seconds of each confirmed website booking.
The campaign behind the booking on the card, which Microsoft Bookings itself never records.
One endpoint per channel: sales in one, a clinic's front desk in another, filtered by widget.
A delivery log with status codes and a Retry button for anything that failed.

Limits and caveats

Pro plan (5 endpoints across webhooks, Slack and Teams); Business has 25.
Requires "Store bookings" on the widget, because the card includes the customer's name and email. Think about who is in the channel.
Only bookings made through a BookingsXP widget are posted. Bookings made on the standard Microsoft Bookings page or entered by staff are not.
Workflows posts are attributed to the account that created the flow, and the flow stops if that account loses access. Consider creating it under a shared account.
Older Office 365 Connector incoming-webhook URLs accept the same card, but Microsoft is retiring those connectors. Use Workflows for new setups.
