Explanation

Databricks SQL Alerts allow you to trigger notifications when a query result meets a specified condition (e.g., count > 0). To notify a team via a messaging webhook (such as Slack or Microsoft Teams), you must configure a webhook alert destination and attach it to the Alert. Option A (custom template) addresses formatting, not the delivery channel. Option B (email) uses a different destination type. Option C (one-time notifications) does not support recurring webhook delivery. Option E (no notifications) defeats the purpose. Only option D - a webhook alert destination - satisfies the requirement of messaging-webhook team notification.
