I need to use the Graph API to send a chat message to a MS Teams channel, documented here.
I retrieve a token from an App Registration that owns the required permissions:
- ChannelMessage.Send (Delegated)
- ChannelMessage.Send (Application)
Permissions have Admin Consent.
This the code C# that gets the token:
var scopes = new[] {
"https://graph.microsoft.com/.default",
};
var tenantId = "602*********************************";
var clientId = "634*********************************";
var clientSecret = "DfV*************************************";
var options = new TokenCredentialOptions
{
AuthorityHost = AzureAuthorityHosts.AzurePublicCloud
};
var clientSecretCredential = new ClientSecretCredential(
tenantId, clientId, clientSecret, options);
var token = clientSecretCredential.GetToken(new TokenRequestContext(scopes)).Token;
I use Postman to better inspect the response. This is the URL of the POST request:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/991*********************************/channels/19:9*********************************@thread.tacv2/messages
The Authorization header is set with the token obtained by C# code and the payload is the following:
{
"createdDateTime": "2022-03-07T17:47:11.7429830Z",
"from": {
"user": {
"id": "2a7*********************************",
"displayName": "User display name",
"userIdentityType": "aadUser"
}
},
"body": {
"contentType": "html",
"content": "Hello Teams!"
}
}
This REST API call perfectly works with Graph Explorer when logged as a tenant user (using only the body
property). With the App Registration token and additional properties I get the following response with HTTP status code 403 Forbidden
:
{
"error": {
"code": "Forbidden",
"message": "{\"errorCode\":209,\"message\":\"{\\r\\n \\\"subCode\\\": \\\"MessageWritesBlocked\\\",\\r\\n \\\"details\\\": \\\"Thread is not marked for import\\\",\\r\\n \\\"errorCode\\\": null,\\r\\n \\\"errorSubCode\\\": null\\r\\n}\"}",
"innerError": {
"date": "2022-03-07T17:47:34",
"request-id": "e0ab5c7b-b64b-4c44-81e3-cc91b344403c",
"client-request-id": "e0ab5c7b-b64b-4c44-81e3-cc91b344403c"
}
}
}
I don't understand how to satisfy Thread is not marked for import
.
I'll appreciate any help on how to succeed in this call. If not possible: any other way to send a message using the Graph API with App Registration token.
