Send 1:1 chat message in teams from c# application - Graph API

Hi - I would like to be able to send a 1:1 chat message from an app in teams without the need to login.

Is that possible? I have an app that will find or create the chat between my app and the person I wish to send the message to, but I can't seem to send.

The documentation suggests you can only do that with delegated permissions but I want my call logging software, running on an IIS server, to send details of the call in a chat message to the person the call is assigned to. The backend system will not be signed in.

Thanks
Simon

    Hi @Simon Bennetts ,

    Send Message in Chat Microsoft Graph API currently supports the delegated permissions scope only and hence this Graph API can be used with the signed-in user scope in your app. Since currently Send Message in Chat Microsoft Graph API do not support application permissions scope, the above mentioned requirement is not feasible unless you use the delegated authentication & permissions in your app.

    Reference:

    Hope this helps.

    you need to register the app in azure ad then grant graph api permissions to the app. the app can then login to Graph API with a secret and call the api. the app does not need to be hosted in azure, it just uses the azure appid to login to Graph API.
