Microsoft Teams alert action not working for some alerts, but is for others

Trying to configure various alerts to use Microsoft Teams. For one alert, it works reliably, each time showing up. Other alerts, I get no notice at all.

Overall log of a failed attempt to send an alert according to _internal (anonymized):

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

I've rechecked the submit URL to confirm it is identical between the one that works and the ones that do not.

A workaround could be sending an email to a specific MS Teams channel.  
Just get its email address by going to the channel name and click More options  > Get email address.

I believe that in order for the script to post output you need to use | Table, or the request format is not valid. There was a great blog post on it by Lisa Rushworth here https://www.rushworth.us/lisa/?tag=splunk

I have taken some of her suggestions, added in proxy support and compiled it in another version of this app that works for all outputs here: https://github.com/cottinghamd/Splunk-Microsoft-Teams-Webhook-Connector

Unfortunately, the built in MC alerts are some of the ones not functioning, and when I added an alert to the search head that had an explicit table as the last statement of the query, it is one of the ones not working at all.

index=_internal KEYWORD_HERE source="/opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/ta_obfuscated_here.log" HTTPError |
rex "HTTPError:\s*(?<status_code>\d{3}).+(?<url>https?://\S+)" |
table host,status_code,url

(Try not to laugh at my search, it works)

I'll check out your alternate version, see if I can get that to work.
