O365 connectors within Teams will be deprecated

[riarenas]

We are seeing warnings in the FR Bot notifications channel that we use to forward mentions to dnceng and azure devops outages that our current method of getting these posts created is being deprecated.

Action Required: O365 connectors within Teams will be deprecated and notifications from this service will stop. Learn more about the timing and how the Workflows app provides a more flexible and secure experience. If you want to continue receiving these types of messages, you can use a workflow to post messages from a webhook request. Set up workflow

We should determine if we still want to keep the channel, and investigate/design/implement the new workflow if so.

The existing connectors will stop working on October 1st, 2024

Deadline for closure has been pushed to December 2025 with some currently undefined action required before December 2024.

Update 07/23/2024: We understand and appreciate the feedback that customers have shared with us regarding the timeline provided for the migration from Office 365 connectors. We have extended the retirement timeline through December 2025 to provide ample time to migrate to another solution such as Power Automate, an app within Microsoft Teams, or Microsoft Graph. Please see below for more information about the extension:

Looks like this channel does see a fair amount of use, so it's worth keeping, we just need to do the transition work.
