Notification for connectors
I am not getting any notification when a connector post to a channel. For example a JIRA post to a channel, I would like to get notified by this.
This is checked on Windows 10 Mobile app.

Its here! Thanks for all your patience on this feature as we worked out the kinks and got it out the door. Connector notifications are now live and there is no additional configuration you need to do to enable them. If you follow a channel, you should already be seeing notifications trigger for messages posted by connectors to those channels. If not, go ahead and follow a channel with a connector in it to see it in action. Please let us know if you run into an issues and we hope this helps your teams work more efficiently!
INSTRUCTIONS:
To get notifications for your connectors, just click on any channel that you want to follow and select the ellipses next to the channel name. Then choose “Follow channel”.
Please make sure you have your notifications setting set to actually GIVE you notifications! To do that, click on your avatar in the app bar, then select “Notifications” from the flyout menu.
If you have any questions, or experience any bugs/errors, please email Suphatra at sparavi@microsoft.com.

When? We need to make a decision if we are going to dump Slack and use Teams soon, I'm getting alot of pressure. This is the only thing we need to go Teams.

Any news on when a proper working notification feature will be implemented? We are considering leaving Podio for this but there is no chance at the moment as the lack of notification is a dealbreaker. If we won't see this happening in the next couple of months max we will go back to Podio

@Thomas I built a redmine plugin to post messages from redmine into teams channels: http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_msteams
The code for notifications is already there - just waiting for the feature to use @mention in connectors to be completet. It's just half the fun without it :-/

Hi! Is there any estimates when this feature can be expected?

As part of this, please allow @ mentions to work from connectors and incoming email as well.

Where are you at with this? We really want to get rid of Slack and move to Teams. This is the only thing holding it up.

It would be nice to have a Redmine connector, that sends a private message whenever you are assigned a task, for example.

This definitely is needed its needs to be very easy to know when a new post is added

This is moving in the right direction but some level of control over the notifications per channel would be better. Hopefully this is being designed in.

I was looking forward to notifications on a channel, but assumed that Connectors would be included. We use connectors heavily with VSTS integration. Currently am using teams but still have Slack to tell us when a build is complete.

Definitely required as an option across all channels

Same here -- I expect notifications from my RSS feeds, just like I have by default in Slack - configurable per channel of course

This is the only reason I had voted for the other issue in the first place.

Can't believe this was overlooked.
