An Approval Gate step can be added to pipeline in order to obtain approval by selected user before the continuation of steps can occur. In order for this step to function correctly, you must configure a Pipeline Notification using Teams Tool to the Approval Gate pipeline step. The Pipeline Notification will be sent to the configured Teams channel. This documentation outlines how to create an incoming webhook URL in Microsoft Teams, properly configure a Teams Tool, then configure an Approval Gate and Pipeline Notification.
