Troubleshooting & FAQ

Notifications are not delivered when using self-hosted Appcircle.

If your Microsoft Teams notifications are not delivered while using the self-hosted Appcircle, there can be 3 reasons for this to check.

1. Proxy Requirement

If you are using a proxy to connect to the internet on the host, the proxy must also be enabled for the Appcircle services too, that is, in the containers. You can refer to the Proxy Configuration documentation to see how to configure proxy for the self-hosted Appcircle server.

2. Network Access

The Appcircle server may not have network access to the Microsoft Teams webhook URL you provided. For example, if you are using a firewall or proxy, you must have permission to access this URL. Please contact your network administrator for the required network access permission.

3. Untrusted SSL Certificate

When the Appcircle server sends a request to the webhook URL through the proxy, it might encounter an error due to the untrusted SSL certificate of the proxy. In this case, you should refer to the Connecting External Services section in the self-hosted Appcircle documents to see how to trust your self-signed certificates.
