The situation is that in my application there are several users who want to contact their colleagues from Teams by sending messages from my application. Each of these users in my application should see their chats and messages, so user A should not see the conversation of user B.
Is there a way how to send such messages? Is it correct that to send a message on behalf of the particular user we need to use his username and password and different credentials when we send a message on behalf of another user?
Please assist can we log in as a user using Microsoft credentials to get access to username and password or what is the way?
Thank you in advance!
Hi @Yan .
ChatMessage.Send, Chat.ReadWrite.
I understand it, but what is the way to do it for multiple users? I do not like the idea when 100 users provide me their usernames and password of their Microsoft account, it does not look like a secure way.
Maybe some login with Microsoft credentials to my application can resolve this problem? Will i have access to username and password in this case?
Hi@Yan Since your issue is more related to Teams dev. We would add a tag office-teams-app-dev. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi, Are you trying to send messages from your custom application to your colleagues who are using Microsoft Teams ?
yes, and there are many users in my application who will do it simultaneously.
Hi, Is it a third party application you are developing or making a application using Microsoft bot framework and integrating in Microsoft Teams by uploading as a custom app ?
This is an application I am developing.
Background is: customer uses my application and some internal users are created there, the rest of colleagues do not have internal profiles, but have Teams accounts.
The goals is to allow internal users to contact teams users using the chat functionality. These internal users also have Teams profiles, but they need to have the possibility to send messages from my application without opening Teams.
Hi We are mostly not responsible for integration in third party applications. Please let us know if you are facing any error while using the api.
But why this is out of the scope? Graph API supports possibility to list chats and send messages to Teams user from the external application, doesn't it? And my question is exactly about these methods.
Hi, You can refer below api to send message using graph API.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/chatmessage-post?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
If you are facing issues while using the above API or any queries please let me know
Is it correct that I have 2 users who are going to send messages and see only their own chat history I need to use 2 separate usernames and passwords in the authorization request for this API?
Hi, Yes since this API requires delegated permissions, you will need separate token for all users.
