Teams Admin alert

Question

While evaluating this configuration, custom app uploads are restricted, but users can still create and submit bots via Power Virtual Agents. These submissions appear in the Teams admin center as “Pending approval,” where admins can approve or reject them.

My concern is how Teams admins are notified of new submissions without checking the portal manually. I’m also looking for a way to list all submitted apps using PowerShell or a script.

Hi 

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum support 

Based on your description, I think you can follow this instruction to fulfill your concern 

You can activate the notification rules when the app was submitted in Teams admin portal: 

• **Navigate to Notification & Alert > App Submission > configure and active   **

About list all the Team custom Apps by Graph or PowerShell, you read the instruction here: 

• By GraphAPI: List teamsApp - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn 
• By PowerShell: Get-AllM365TeamsApps (MicrosoftTeams) | Microsoft Learn 

Hope my answer will help you

Hello Titus Tolbert (Sr dev Operation, Hoka corp) ,
Currently, Microsoft Teams does not automatically notify admins (via email or Teams message) when new custom apps or Power Virtual Agents bots are submitted for approval. Admins must manually check the Teams admin center for pending submissions.

For listing all submitted apps (including Power Virtual Agents bots) via PowerShell or script:

You can use Microsoft Graph PowerShell to list Teams app submissions:
Using Microsoft Graph PowerShell:

# Install the Graph Teams module if not already installed

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Teams

# Connect to Graph

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes AppCatalog.Read.All

# List all Teams apps in the tenant app catalog (including submitted apps)

Get-MgAppCatalogTeamApp

This will list all apps, including those pending approval. You may need to filter by status or review the output for pending apps.
