Mum's check-in lands in your Teams.

Working parents live in Microsoft Teams all day. Mirror Getwello to a private Teams channel and the morning check-in arrives between standup and lunch, with Adaptive Card formatting so it reads as a proper message and not a JSON blob.

Why Teams fits work-from-home

In your day, not on top of it.

Already on every device

Desktop, web, phone, watch notifications. Mum's check-in surfaces in the system you already trust.

Adaptive Cards, not text

Coloured header, structured fields, action buttons. Teams native, not a foreign-looking blob.

Free with Microsoft 365

If you have Microsoft 365 already, incoming webhooks are included. No extra subscription.

Searchable family history

Teams keeps the thread. Six months from now you can search 'GP appointment' and find the original message.

    }
  }]
}

In the channel, between standups

A proper card, not raw JSON.

Format check-ins as Adaptive Cards and Teams renders them with a coloured header, structured fields, an 'Open in Getwello' action button. The siblings see them in the same flow as their work standups, but cleanly separated by channel.

Coloured header per event type.
Structured fields for mood, time, next visit.
Action button linking back to Getwello.
@here mentions on missed days.

How to set it up

The high level. Full walkthrough in the help guide.

01
Step 1 of 4
Add an Incoming Webhook to your channel.
Channel · ... menu · Manage channel · Connectors · Incoming Webhook. Name it 'Getwello', upload an icon if you like, copy the URL.
02
Step 2 of 4
Mint a Getwello API key.
Settings → Developer API as a Coordinator. Name it 'Microsoft Teams'. Copy the gw_live_ token (not strictly needed but useful for any direct calls later).
03
Step 3 of 4
Create the Getwello webhook subscription.
Settings → Developer API → Webhooks. URL is the Teams webhook from step 1. Choose Adaptive Card format via Zapier, Make or a Cloudflare Worker as middleman.
04
Step 4 of 4
Test, watch Teams.
Test fires a synthetic event. If your Teams channel shows a card within a couple of seconds, you're live. Tune the channel's notification level to taste.

Frequently asked questions

Will I need IT admin approval?

Usually no, if you're using a personal channel in your own Teams account. Some corporate tenants restrict incoming webhooks; if yours does, ask IT to allow an Incoming Webhook connector on a specific channel.

Can I use a personal Microsoft account or do I need work Teams?

Both work. The free personal Teams plan supports incoming webhooks. Useful if you want to keep family separate from work.

What's an Adaptive Card?

Teams' rich card format, similar to Slack Blocks. Title, fields, action buttons. Our setup guide shows how to send check-ins as Adaptive Cards rather than raw text, so they look at home in Teams.

Will the family hear the notification?

Yes if their Teams notifications are on. Like any Teams message, the channel notification settings (All / Mentions only / Off) decide. For missed-day alerts, use @here to wake everyone.

Are there limits I should know about?

Teams incoming webhooks have a 4 MB body limit (far more than we'll ever send) and a soft 4 requests/sec rate limit (also irrelevant for family use). The integration is durable.

Other integrations

Pair this with another.

Some families wire two or three at the same time. The webhook fans out, the API keys stay the same.
