Is there a way to set something like an incoming webhook for a whole team?
I have a javascript, that should post something to a certain channel contained in a certain Team, but to see in which channel it should be posted, I'd need to get a List of all channels, and since the channels change every month, I can't programm the incoming webhooks statically in the javascript. Is there a possibiltiy to have a javascript query the list of channels in a team so I could compare channel names and let it post into the right channel every time?
Normally I'd say I'd probably need to create a new bot from scratch, but the framework is already in place in my workplace and I'm supposed to use what's already here, which is basically one bot that gets a message and sends a response. Now I'd need to make one that doesn't get a message, but can access teams, query the channels and then send a message. Is that even possible with "just" webhooks?
THanks in advance for any help on this.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Would the Graph API List Channels be useful for your scenario?
I am not sure yet, I'd have to see how our system has been built so far but I think it does seem promising. I just need to find out how the authentication and all that would work with our existing framework on node.js and javascript, since the other bot only works "on command" from teams and this one would need to operate and authenticate itself "independently".
Thank you

@Michael Salzer Please let us know does that help clarify.
@Michael Salzer Please let us know if your issue has been resolved.
The issue has not been resolved, but that is because of permission issues at my company.
Is there a way to extract the needed data for sending a message to teams from a request made by a user? E.g. If a user sends a message to the bot, can I somehow extract the channel, and authorization data to (later) send a message to the channel?
My issue hasn't been resolved, because I can't use the Graph API for this. Is there a way to somehow extract a webhook from a user message, so I could send an answer back at a later time via Javascript to where the user sent his message from?
E.g.
User sends a message, adressing my "bot"/script, I save the data, and a day later send a message back to the channel the user sent the original message from.
Is something like that possible without graph?
Hi @Michael Salzer Your bot can retrieve other users mentioned in a message
protected override async Task OnMessageActivityAsync(ITurnContext<IMessageActivity> turnContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
Mention[] mentions = turnContext.Activity.GetMentions();
if(mentions != null)
{
ChannelAccount firstMention = mentions[0].Mentioned;
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync($"Hello {firstMention.Name}");
}
else
{
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync("Aw, no one was mentioned.");
}
}
Please go through this documentation for more info.
Thank you for the Info, but that is not what I need. What I would basically need is to get a webhook for the channel, when a user sends a message to the bot. So If the user sends a message "@Bot Hello", from the Channel "General", I would need some way to save a hook to the channel so I could later send a message to the channel, not the user. And it doesn't happen right away, when the user sends the message, but some days later, so I'd need to kind of extract a webhook for the channel without explicitly setting up a webhook in the channel. This would be used for a reminder-functionality. A user would send a message with a timestamp to the bot, and later it would reply at the given time in the channel the message was sent from. I'm not sure this is even possible without more permissions, but we essentially don't have a full bot, but only communicate through such hooks...
Cuurently there is no api to fetch the webhook url. Alternatively you can use the proactive messaging. You can save the user details and then once your task is done you can send the message using below sample code.
