Answer: D

Explanation:

Outgoing webhooks allow you to send messages to external systems from Teams. They are used in a very similar way to bots: you @mention them on a chat or channel, and then type your message. The difference is that when you send the message, it will go directly to the external system or service (e.g., your HR system). There isn’t a custom-built bot background service in between. The external service then completes a task based on the message and can reply back to the user in Teams.

Note: If you are just looking for a simple way of integrating an existing external system to Teams, webhooks can offer you a very quick and easy solution for that.

There are three different types of webhooks:

✑ Outgoing webhooks (for sending a message from Teams to an external system

✑ Incoming webhooks (for sending a message from an external system to Teams)

✑ Connectors (productized/packaged webhooks by you, Microsoft or third parties)
