Microsoft Teams - Triton ULTRA Integration

This guide walks through how to set up a Microsoft Teams channel that receives alerts directly from your Triton ULTRA sensor using the on-prem (local) integration. This does not require Triton Cloud — alerts are sent from the sensor's built-in SMTP email function to a Teams channel email address. For a visual step-by-step walkthrough with screenshots, follow the Scribe guide linked below.

How does this integration work?

Microsoft Teams allows channels to receive emails, which get posted as messages. The Triton ULTRA sensor has a built-in SMTP email feature that can send alert notifications to any email address. By pointing the sensor's email alerts at a Teams channel's email address, you get real-time Triton alerts posted directly into Teams — no cloud account required.

What do I need before starting?

  • A Microsoft Teams workspace where you can create teams and channels
  • Access to the Triton ULTRA sensor's local web interface (via its IP address)
  • SMTP credentials from your email provider (Gmail, Outlook/Office 365, etc.)

Step 1: Create a Team and Channel in Microsoft Teams

  1. Open Microsoft Teams and click Create team in the top-right corner.
  2. Choose Create a team from scratch.
  3. Enter a team name (e.g., "Triton Alert Channel"), an optional description, and your preferred privacy setting.
  4. Name the channel (e.g., "Triton Alert Channel") and click Create.

Step 2: Get the Channel's Email Address

  1. Navigate to your new team and open the channel.
  2. Click the "..." (More Options) next to the channel name.
  3. Select Get email address.
  4. Copy the email address shown — you'll need it in the next step.

Step 3: Configure SMTP on the Triton ULTRA Sensor

  1. Log in to the sensor's local web interface by entering its IP address in your browser.
  2. Navigate to Platform Integration → SMTP Settings.
  3. Click Enable.
  4. Enter your SMTP settings based on your email provider:

Gmail:

  • Host: smtp.gmail.com
  • Port: 587
  • Security: TLS
  • User: your full Gmail address
  • Password: a Gmail App Password (not your regular password) — How to set up a Gmail App Password

Outlook / Office 365:

  1. Set the Sender to the same email as your User field.
  2. Set the Recipient to the Teams channel email address you copied earlier.
  3. Click Save, then click Test to verify the sensor can send to the Teams channel.

Not sure about your SMTP settings?

Contact Triton Support and we can help you get the right configuration for your email provider.

Want to limit when you get notified?

You can set up quiet hours in Teams so alerts only notify you during specific times. Learn how to manage Teams notification schedules here.

Step 4: Enable Alerts on the Sensor

  1. Still in the sensor's local interface, navigate to Actions → Action Settings.
  2. Click "set" under the email column for each event type you want sent to Teams (e.g., Vape, THC, Aggression, Tamper).
  3. Click Save All.

Step 5: Repeat for Additional Sensors

If you have multiple sensors, repeat Steps 3–4 for each one. To speed up deployment, you can use the Bulk Configuration feature to push SMTP and alert settings to multiple sensors at once — see the Bulk Configuration guide here.

Important: Make sure each sensor has a name set under Device Settings → Device Info so your Teams alerts indicate which sensor location triggered the event.
