Azure alert to Teams using Email notification

Yesterday I implemented an Azure alert with an Action Group that triggers a Logic App to send a message to Microsoft Teams. I followed this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/action-groups-logic-app

Today a colleague told me if the organization has “Allow users to send email to a channel email address” enabled you can use an Email notification to send an alert to that channel. For more info about the option see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/40495/get-email-address-option-is-not-available-in-teams.html

Logic App

Pros

• Custom notification format

Cons

• More work
• More complex
• Possible failure in the Logic App

Email

Pros

• Easy and simple to configure
• No custom implementation needed

Cons

• No custom format
• Requires a Teams organization-wide config enabled
• Content is too long so you have to download the email for details

If you are interested in the Bicep code for both options, see the following gist:
