Send Message in Microsoft Teams

[BatMan22]

Hi guys, wondering if anyone know how to tie into Teams. I just need to send a message but have never done anything like that before and autoit is the only programming language I know. Has anyone ever automated sending a message in teams before with the API? I really don't want to use webdriver as it's a relatively messy solution but will go that route if I have to.

Have you reviewed this thread?

@Danp2 I 'reviewed' that thread but unless I'm missing something, it's just a link to the Microsoft API. I know an API exists, I just have zero clue about how to implement something like that and was hoping someone had done something similar.

Not to my knowledge. If is just a simple Put operation, you should  be able to do it with the WinHTTP UDF from @trancexx.

Probably the easier way is to use  PowerShell Module because to write it from raw AutoIt you will probably need HTTP request knowledge.

@Danyfirex You're 100% right. SUPER easy! Thanks.

Instructions for anyone who searches for this in the future: 

1) Activate Webhook by clicking on 'Connectors' in any chat channel.. Add Extension called "Webhooks", copy webhook value.

2) Paste into powershell either direct/via autoit after replacing the "URI" value with your webhook value, hit enter and success:

3) Visit link below for full details / better explanation

$JSONBody = [PSCustomObject][Ordered]@{
    "@type"      = "MessageCard"
    "@context"   = "http://schema.org/extensions"
    "summary"    = "Incoming Alert Test Message!"
    "themeColor" = '0078D7'
    "title"      = "Incoming Alert Test Message!"
    "text"       = "There was an alert and we should act on it."
}

$TeamMessageBody = ConvertTo-Json $JSONBody -Depth 100

$parameters = @{
    "URI"         = 'https://outlook.office.com/webhook/{GUID}@{GUID}/IncomingWebhook/{GUID}/{GUID}'
    "Method"      = 'POST'
    "Body"        = $TeamMessageBody
    "ContentType" = 'application/json'
}
