How to control email notifications and organization-level Microsoft Teams delivery.

Use notification preferences to control which Hygiara emails you receive.

Organization settings

What matters

Notification settings affect email delivery for events such as:

  • reports becoming ready
  • scan summary notifications
  • follow-up actions shown in settings

The review page remains the source of truth even when email is disabled or delayed.

Personal email controls are available to every user from the Notifications tab. Organization administrators can configure Microsoft Teams delivery in the same tab. Teams settings are organization-wide and do not change personal email preferences.

Microsoft Teams

  1. Create a Teams Workflow or incoming webhook for the target channel.
  2. Open Settings, then Notifications.
  3. Enter the HTTPS webhook URL and select the events to deliver.
  4. Save the integration, then use Send test.

Hygiara supports continuous scan completion, connection validation failure, review processing failure, and report-ready events. The webhook URL is encrypted and is never displayed again after it is saved.

If delivery fails, Settings shows a sanitized status without exposing the URL or response body. Hygiara retries queued deliveries automatically.

Do this

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Open Notifications.
  3. Enable or disable the notification types you want.
  4. Save changes.

Check the result

Your preferences should remain selected after saving.

For report readiness, verify the Report tab if email does not arrive.

Avoid

  • assuming email delivery means every user saw the report
  • rerunning reviews because a notification did not arrive
  • disabling scan summaries without another monitoring habit
  • sending the test message to a production incident channel without notifying its owners
  • reusing a webhook URL outside the intended organization
