Vantage integrates with Microsoft Teams so that you can send Report Notifications, Cost Alerts, Cost Anomaly Alerts, and Budget Alerts to your Teams channels. You can adjust notifications to be delivered to a specific public or private channel in Microsoft Teams. The Vantage Microsoft Teams integration makes it easy for teams to stay on top of cloud costs without leaving Microsoft Teams. Your team gets real-time alerts right where you already work. You can configure notifications for things like:
  • Unexpected spending spikes
  • Budgets getting close to or over their limits
  • Regular Cost Report summaries
  • Custom alerts for specific thresholds or conditions
