Python to managing messages in Teams

Question

I’m working on a Python script that processes data, and at the end of the execution, I’d like to automatically send the output—formatted as plain text—to a few employees via Microsoft Teams. Ideally, I want to automate this step completely within the script itself, without requiring manual intervention.

I’m looking for an existing Python library or SDK that supports sending messages directly to specific users or a chat group in Microsoft Teams. The solution should allow me to programmatically post messages (preferably without needing to manually configure a Teams webhook or connector each time) and support authentication and permissions in a secure, manageable way.

Are there any established or officially supported Python packages or APIs that can help me achieve this?

Hi Titus Tolbert, 

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum**.**  

Based on your use case, which involves automating the sending of plain-text output from a Python script to Microsoft Teams users or groups, I’ve came across a helpful discussion that may meet your criteria: Send automated messages to Microsoft Teams using Python - Stack Overflow

Important Consideration 

Microsoft has announced the retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams, which may affect traditional webhook-based approaches. You can read more about this change here: Retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams 

As a result, the “Incoming Webhook” option in Teams channels may no longer be available in the same way. Instead, Microsoft now recommends using Workflows to create incoming webhooks. You can find the updated guidance here: Create incoming webhooks with Workflows for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support 

I hope the information provided is helpful for your scenario. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
