Microsoft Teams Bot - Does the teamsAppId change?

Question

I'm using the Graph API to proactively install a Teams bot for all users in an organization.

I need to retrieve the teamsAppId by externalId like so :

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/appCatalogs/teamsApps?$filter=externalId eq '{IdFromManifest}'

Is it safe to query the teamsAppId once and keep it in the appSettings?

Answer 1

When an app is published to the Microsoft Teams apps catalog an unique id (teamsAppId) is generated for the app and this id is immutable and can be stored in the appSettings.

I'm storing teamsAppId in the local SQLite db and I've never had a problem with id's immutability.
