Assignments in Teams notifications
Are you aware of the free training resources at https://www.education.microsoft.com/en-us/resources?
With that said. For notifications, all you have to do is set an Alert me on the turn-in folder on the Class SharePoint site. So when a student adds their assignment to the folder (even via Teams) like when they turn in the assignment, you'll get a notification.
To do this, navigate to the SharePoint Document Library for the Class/Team, you can do so from the Assignments/Files areas by clicking Open in SharePoint. Once in the proper folder, hit the ellipsis ... and choose Alert me.
SharePoint Document Library Folder Alert
Teams is just a "wrapper" for SharePoint, so all of the data for your class, including the assignments actually live in its dedicated SharePoint site.
I followed your steps but there is not a folder for specifically assignments "submitted." I can get to the Student Work folder but the options are alerts when changes are made not when work is turned in. Anyway around that?
lethegreatThe problem with the current alert system is that the message comes either by email or by text.
I don't want either of these, I want a message in Teams, which is where I'm teaching my class.
Luckily a kind person helped out by building a Flow to solve this problem:

Hope this helps!
