How to Get Entity ID for Creating Tabs in Teams Channel Using Graph API

Question

I'm trying to add a tab to a Teams channel using Microsoft Graph API. I understand that I need the entity ID in the request body, but I'm not sure how to retrieve it.

Could someone please explain how to get the entity ID for a Teams channel? What specific API request should I use to obtain this ID? Any examples or links to documentation would be very helpful.
