5. In Energy Monitor "**create a contact**":

What we want from this section is the "**Webhook**", which is a method for sending data in real-time using HTTPS requests, with the POST method. 

-   Webhook, the URL, must be placed as the value of a custom variable named "**_WEBHOOK**"

6.  In Microsoft Teams, in Workflows sub-app, You need to add the Webhook onto a team and channel, chosen for receiving notifications. 

    -   On the screenshot, the chosen option states to send an email when an event created by the workflow, occurs.

7. If done correctly, the chat in the channel will be able to receive notifications from Energy Monitor.
