How many Microsoft Teams channels can you have? There is no limit to the number of Microsoft Teams channels you can have. However, you will need to create one integration per channel in Cutover and one webhook for each channel in Microsoft Teams.
Can one message be posted in multiple channels and can it be sent to users too? Our integration targets one channel, therefore the message will be posted to the channel that has been configured with the integration. The message can only be sent to channels and not users.
