Microsoft Teams: How to add notifications to the activity feed?

How can I push notifications to a users activity feed in Teams?

This documentation suggests its possible by setting a channelData property. Some things about this:

  1. When using setChannelData in the Microsoft Teams Getting Started Sample it tells me it's deprecated and I should use sourceEvent() instead: enter image description here

  2. For several weeks now there is a note in the documentation saying "The following features are coming soon to the Public Developer Preview." - which is not helpful and differs from other parts of the documentation. Is it in preview or not? enter image description here

  3. It does not seem to work at all.

So we have a deprecated, soon to come function that does not work. How is the current state of this? Which documentation is correct, which outdated? If sourceEventwas to set - how is the syntax?

Any help on this topic is appreciated.

Addition:

In the app manifest there is a property isNotificationOnly. I set it, it did change nothing. Do I need this?

Solution

  • There is a bug with activity feed notifications. This will be shipped in Q1 2018.
