Customise the MS Teams template
MS Teams uses adaptive card blocks to build messages with text, images, buttons, and more. We have provided the same structure here. You can customize the order and appearance of each block, including elements within them. Below are some blocks that are supported to design MS Teams template in ARNR.

Reach out to our Service desk if you want us to add support for any specific block in the MS Teams template. |
This section won’t allow you to type anything manually. All the content that one wants to create, has to be created only through the available block options. For the MS Teams template, there are three content options as explained below -
