// The webhook URL from the integration you set up
let webhookUrl = "https://outlook.office.com/webhook/some-random-text/IncomingWebhook/some/random/text"

let imageUrl = sprintf "https://connectorsdemo.azurewebsites.net/images/%s" 

let notification p =
    { p with
        Summary = Some "Max Muster ran a build"
        Title = Some "Sample Project"

             }
           ]
        PotentialActions =
           [
             {
               Name = "View in Trello"
               Target = System.Uri("https://trello.com/c/1101/")
             }
           ]
    }
