when you post a link in a message in a Microsoft team channel (from the graphical interface), it adds a preview to the message (image + description).
How can we achieve the same programmatically?
I tried to create a message that contained an link but the magic didn't occur.
If I then post the same link through the graphical interface and then programmatically dump the 2 messages, they are identical!
However the message created programmatically doesn't show the preview.
Added screenshot:
In Microsoft teams, if I post a message with a link ( here it is www.microsoft.com), it automatically adds the picture and description.
I want achieve the same programmatically.

we have an app for MS Teams which users can start a conversation and send messages to. The app does some processing and returns the response back. I am looking for the ability to open an precreated conversation using a link. I have needed information like conversation id etc. How do i create a link that can be used for this navigation?
To be more specific this doc is not helpful https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-links#deep-linking-to-a-chat
The link i need is for the conversation. Currently it is possible to manually copy that link by right clicking on any conversation and use "Copy link". Is there a way to get it or generate it when user creates the conversation. A sample link copied from looks like below
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/message/19:a0a0088174a644cb91409f4d8f79d888#thread.tacv2/1612324568748?tenantId=04e930f3-0866-4a6d-b07c-a4737e8f9865&groupId=087bf290-deb5-4790-b159-bf86914765b4&parentMessageId=1612324568748&teamName=Sales%20Team&channelName=FlashCX%20Sales&createdTime=1612324568748
So trying to see if i can either get this the URL using apis or can generate with the parts involved
#Moblize - Currently you can create Deep-link to chat for particular conversation. You cannot create a link which will redirect to a particular message in channel. Please check this docs for info.
My scenario is: I send card attachments each with an AcceptButton to users. When 1 user clicks on that button, ideally I want to disable all similar buttons (of the same offer) for all users. I am storing conversation details of each user, and I know the ActivityId of each message-with-said-button (it follows a certain string format).
My issue is similar to this and this but for WebChat not Teams.
I did try those solutions but I got the error "Method not allowed" for both UpdateActivityAsync() and DeleteActivityAsync(). Then I read here that UpdateActivity is not supported in WebChat. (But might be available in the future?)
I would like any visual indication that the offer is no longer available. (Right now, they receive an "Offer was already accepted by {UserX}" which would still be in place on top of changing the card/message.)
Is there a way to do this via backChannel? I can trigger an event and pass the ActivityId (tested by showing a simple alert()) but how do I apply changes to that specific activity?
Per this comment in Web Chat's source code and this open issue in the Web Chat repository for adding support for deleteActivity and updateActivity, Update Activity events are not currently supported in Web Chat. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to really update an activity in Web Chat.
Hope this helps!
I'm currently building an integration with Office 365 Outlook thanks to the Microsoft Graph API. I retrieve user messages data, along with the webLink, which is a direct URL to the message in Outlook Web App.
By default, it opens in a popout window displaying only this message. My goal is to display it in the full Outlook Web App. In the documentation of a Message resource, Microsoft states this:
You can append an ispopout argument to the end of the URL to change how the message is displayed. If ispopout is not present or if it is set to 1, then the message is shown in a popout window. If ispopout is set to 0, then the browser will show the message in the Outlook Web App review pane.
Doing this works well if the e-mail is in the Inbox mail folder. However, if it is in another folder (like Sent Items or a custom one), it always redirects to the Inbox and opens the first message in it.
Is it a known limitation of this parameter? Is there a workaround to achieve this?
Best regards!
I have created a bot using Botkit and am working on creating an interactive message. What I want to do is when the user clicks on the button in the interactive message, a new message will be created pulling som info from the original interactive message, BUT WILL NOT BE SENT. I need to continue editing the message before choosing to send it. Does anybody know whether this is possible or not? I have been googling and searching slack's docs and botkit's docs, but haven't been able to find an answer.
If you want to let the user edit a message before sending you can use the Dialog feature from Slack. It will allow you to show an input text field, where the user can make his edits. I am not familiar with Botkit though and can not say if it supports Dialogs.
I am creating an addin for Outlook.
I want to check some text on sending, but im not sure how to reference it
The text is in the image below and says “Attachment will be sent using...”
If the text equals the text displayed, i want to do something.
Thanks for any advice.
The Outlook object model doesn't provide anything for reading mail tips. But you may consider using EWS for getting mail tips. See Using MailTips in EWS to get the OOF (Out of Office) Status of users with C# and Powershell for the sample code.
FYI MailTips are informative messages displayed to users in the infobar in Outlook Web App and Outlook 2010/2013/2016 when a user does any of the following while composing an e-mail message:
Add a recipient
Add an attachment
Reply or Reply all
Open a message from the Drafts folder that's already addressed to recipients
To configure MailTips for mailboxes, external contacts, and distribution groups, in the Exchange Control Panel, select the mailbox, external contact, or distribution group, click Details, and then in the MailTip section, create the MailTip.
To configure MailTips for mail users and dynamic distribution groups, in Windows PowerShell, use the MailTip parameter on the Set-MailUser and Set-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlets.
Regardless of whether you use the Exchange Control Panel or Windows PowerShell, two things always happen when you add a MailTip to a recipient:
HTML tags are automatically added to the text. For example, if you enter the following text: This mailbox is not monitored. The MailTip automatically becomes the following: <html><body>This mailbox is not monitored.</body></html>
The text is automatically added to the MailTipTranslations property as the default value. If you modify the MailTip text, the default value is automatically updated in the MailTipTranslations property.
Read more about that in the Configure MailTips article.
