Sending an Email to Members of a Team in Microsoft Teams


We are trying to maximize the usage of Microsoft Teams and one of the things we want to do is use the channel's email adress to send emails to the members of that team/channel.

All good but how to do that?! If you get the channel's email address from the channel's context menu, the result is that the email you write gets posted in the team chat. That is NOT what we want, because as I am sure you all know, channel threads dissapear after a while and it is notoriously hard to bring them up again/find them etc.

Therefore, emailing content is still a good choice for revisiting that content.

What are we missing?

Thank you

  • I'd say there are different approaches :
    Generally I would recommend for a Teams App to make use of the Teams modalities such as:

    Note: If you send a message , and the user does not open the Teams client at all, then the Teams backend will automagically send an e-mail reminder to that user, without you needing to do a thing.

    If you still need/want to send e-mails to each member of the Team/channel - you will need to :

    or get list of users in that Team
