We prioritize security in all our integrations. The data transmitted between Microsoft Teams and your phone using our service utilizes encryption during transfer abiding by industry standards, along with secure authentication methods implemented at each step of setup.
Can I customize what information is included in the SMS sent from a Microsoft Team's alert?
Yes, when setting up your action step within a zap involving sending an SMS upon receiving a trigger from Teams, you can customize which details from that message appear in your text alert. Use available fields mapping features to tailor what gets included specifically.
