Note: Permissions marked with * use resource-specific consent.

chatMessage

chatMessage subscriptions can be specified to include resource data. If specified to include resource data (includeResourceData set to true), encryption is required. The subscription creation fails if an encryptionCertificate isn't specified for such subscriptions. Before you can create a chatMessage subscription with application permissions, you might need to request access. For details, see Protected APIs in Microsoft Teams.

You must use the Prefer: include-unknown-enum-members request header to get the following values in chatMessage messageType evolvable enum: systemEventMessage for /teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages and /chats/{id}/messages resource.

Note

/teams/getAllMessages, /chats/getAllMessages, /me/chats/getAllMessages, /users/{id}/chats/getAllMessages, and /appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats/getAllMessages have licensing and payment requirements. /teams/getAllMessages and /chats/getAllMessages support both model=A and model=B query parameters, /me/chats/getAllMessages, /users/{id}/chats/getAllMessages, and /appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats/getAllMessages support only model=B. If no model is specified, evaluation mode will be used.

conversationMember

conversationMember subscriptions can be specified to include resource data. If specified to include resource data (includeResourceData set to true), encryption is required. The subscription creation fails if an encryptionCertificate isn't specified.

Note

/teams/getAllMembers, /chats/getAllMembers, and /appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats/getAllMembers have licensing and payment requirements. /teams/getAllMembers and /chats/getAllMembers support both model=A and model=B query parameters. /appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats/getAllMembers supports only model=B. If no model is specified, evaluation mode will be used.

team, channel, and chat

team, channel, and chat subscriptions can be specified to include resource data. If specified to include resource data (includeResourceData set to true), encryption is required. The subscription creation fails if an encryptionCertificate isn't specified.

Note

/appCatalogs/teamsApps/{id}/installedToChats has licensing and payment requirements, specifically supporting only model=B. If no model is specified, evaluation mode will be used.

Request example

Specify the model query parameter in the resource property in the request body.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions
Content-type: application/json

{
   "changeType": "created",
   "notificationUrl": "https://webhook.azurewebsites.net/api/send/myNotifyClient",
   "resource": "chats/getAllMessages?model=A",
   "expirationDateTime":"2016-11-20T18:23:45.9356913Z",
   "clientState": "secretClientValue",
   "latestSupportedTlsVersion": "v1_2"
}

driveItem

Additional limitations apply for subscriptions on OneDrive items. The limitations apply to creating as well as managing (getting, updating, and deleting) subscriptions.

On a personal OneDrive, you can subscribe to the root folder or any subfolder in that drive. On OneDrive for Business, you can subscribe to only the root folder. Change notifications are sent for the requested types of changes on the subscribed folder, or any file, folder, or other driveItem instances in its hierarchy. You cannot subscribe to drive or driveItem instances that are not folders, such as individual files.

contact, event, and message

You can subscribe to changes in Outlook contact, event, or message resources.

Creating and managing (getting, updating, and deleting) a subscription requires a read scope to the resource. For example, to get change notifications on messages, your app needs the Mail.Read permission. Outlook change notifications support delegated and application permission scopes. Note the following limitations:

Delegated permission supports subscribing to items in folders in only the signed-in user's mailbox. For example, you cannot use the delegated permission Calendars.Read to subscribe to events in another user’s mailbox.
To subscribe to change notifications of Outlook contacts, events, or messages in shared or delegated folders:
- Use the corresponding application permission to subscribe to changes of items in a folder or mailbox of any user in the tenant.
- Do not use the Outlook sharing permissions (Contacts.Read.Shared, Calendars.Read.Shared, Mail.Read.Shared, and their read/write counterparts), as they do not support subscribing to change notifications on items in shared or delegated folders.
