I have check the Graph API using which we can send message to the channel but I am not getting any example to send files to the channel as an attachment can anyone help me with this.
You can post messages with card attachments referencing existing SharePoint files using the Microsoft Graph APIs for OneDrive and SharePoint. Using the Graph APIs requires obtaining access to a user's OneDrive folder (for personal and groupchat files) or the files in a team's channels (for channel files) through the standard OAuth 2.0 authorization flow.
Please have a look at Send and receive files documentation.

Can we send file as an attachment along with message in teams using webhooks or api?
Currently we can send only text message using webhooks and not attach files.
I want to mimic the action in the screenshot below:-
Attach file present in the system
There are ways to first upload file to one drive and then send its link in the teams message but I do not want to use that solution.
Is there a way to directly upload file from your system as an attachment to the microsoft teams using webhook or any alternative way.
Thanks!!
Currently it is not supported to send attachments using webhook. You will need to use bot to send and receive attachments. You can refer this link.

I'm trying to send files to a channel in Teams, but I've found examples of asking a bot for something (for example I write 1 and he send me an image), and the bot's able send images or files like attachments (I don't need adaptive cards or message cards if your idea is Incoming webhook).
I need to send with a schedule request attachment files to teams, is that possible? For example, if such is possible to send a set of image attachment every 1 hour.
Thanks
In case this is still not resolved.
Please take a look at Send and receive files through your bot doc to see how your bot can send/receive file attachments.
For bot to trigger message based on backend trigger, please take a look at Send
proactive messages.
Sample code for both of these scenarios can be found in Bot Framework sample code repo.
My (editor-like) Windows desktop program can create a new e-mail with the current project attached using MAPISendMail. A customer wants the same functionality for Microsoft Teams.
For the web version, I think I can probably do that with Graph API.
But I can't find anything for the desktop app version. Is there a way to do that?
Bonus:
It would be great if the user could manually specify recipient + body text in Teams (and not in my program).
So you can't actually attach files to messages directly - you basically upload the file to a web location, and then provide a link to the file in the message. As an example, you can upload to the SharePoint document library that exists in the "Files" tab (something like this). Then, in terms of sending the message, you can send to a Team/Channel quite easily using a Webhook. This does not support #mentions the moment though. Another option is to use Graph to send the message.
If you're wanting instead to send a kind of 'private' message to the user, you'd need to look into creating a bot, and sending a 'Proactive' message
I have created a bot by following the steps mentioned in the doc.I have authenticated user using oauth 2.0 (auth code grant) as mentioned in the doc and in reverse I got a access token. But when I send message to channel in the teams using (/teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages) API the message was sent on behalf of me. But I want my bot as the sender of message. Here is the image of the message that I have sent using the above API. and is there any way to send direct message to user as a bot?
Instead of using the Graph, there's another approach using the Bot Framework itself, to send a message to a team channel, a group chat, or a 1-1 conversation. The code doesn't even need to live inside the bot itself, it just needs to leverage the bot framework under the covers (for example, I have several Azure Functions that pro-actively message users). This idea is called "Proactive messaging" and you can read more about it in the docs here.
You do need to get certain fields when the user first installs the bot though, or any time the bot receives a message. I've described that more at Programmatically sending a message to a bot in Microsoft Teams. You haven't said what language you're using, but there are examples for a bunch of them - I can send you links if you let me know what you're using.
In a recent post (How to retrieve ItemAttachment contents from Office 365 REST API?) API mentioned to retrieve attachments from within an attached EML is in plans. Is such API already available?
In case of mail flow rule to send a message to a moderator. Approval mail is sent to an approver with the original mail attached as eml. Is there an API to approve/reject the message, similarly to the web buttons approve/reject?
Thank you very much.
We were also looking for an answer to (2), but even now, apparently this is not possible via the REST API. There's one SO link that has a powershell script that claims to do this - see Approve email message via exchange EWS API, however, I don't see a clean solution yet.
