Application	TeamsActivity.Send.User	TeamsActivity.Send

Note: The TeamsActivity.Send.User permission uses resource-specific consent.

HTTP request

POST /users/{userId | user-principal-name}/teamwork/sendActivityNotification

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply JSON representation of the parameters.

The following table shows the parameters that can be used with this action.

Parameter	Type	Description
topic	teamworkActivityTopic	The topic of the notification. Specifies the resource being talked about.
activityType	String	The activity type. Activity types must be declared in the Teams app manifest.
chainId	Int64	Optional. The chain ID of the notification. Used to override a previous notification. Use the same chainId in subsequent requests to override the previous notification.
previewText	itemBody	The preview text for the notification. Microsoft Teams shows the first 150 characters.
templateParameters	keyValuePair collection	The values for the template variables defined in the activity feed entry corresponding to activityType in the Teams app manifest.
teamsAppId	String	Optional. The Teams app ID of the Teams app associated with the notification. Used to disambiguate installed apps when multiple apps with the same Microsoft Entra ID app ID are installed for the same recipient user. Avoid sharing Microsoft Entra ID app IDs between Teams apps.

The following resources are supported when setting the source value of the topic property to entityUrl:

• teamsAppInstallation
• teamsCatalogApp

Response

If successful, this action returns a 204 No Content response code.
