How can I use python to send a message to a team's user ?

The python code says @odata.bind is missing yet it it is the json ?

#tenant_id = 'YOUR_TENANT_ID'
#user_email = 'USER_EMAIL'  # Replace with the recipient's email address

message = "Hello from Python!"

# Initialize the MSAL confidential client
app = ConfidentialClientApplication(client_id, authority=f'https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}', client_credential=client_secret)

Hello Michael Wilcox,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Support!

In the Create chat, the value of "******@odata.bind" should be "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users (user_id/user_principal_name)", Please amend your first member the value of the "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me".

Hope this helps.
