How to update (edit) a Microsoft Teams message (thread or reply) inside a Teams channel via REST API

Question

I can write a thread message inside a channel in Microsoft Teams. Is there any method to update the content of it via REST API?

Thanks

Answer 1

Simply No, Neither Update method nor Delete method

Two things which is available in Graph API, one is Post method and second is Get method. This is for messages inside a channel in Microsoft Teams.

Get channel message,

GET /teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages/{id}

• Documentation: Get channel message

• GitHub: channel-get-message.md

Create chatMessage in a channel

POST /teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages

• Documentation: Create chatMessage in a channel

• GitHub: channel-post-messages.md

If you want to update channel or calendar event then the API available for them.

• Patch channel PATCH /teams/{id}/channels/{id}
• Update event

Some of these APIs are in Beta version, therefore,

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported.

The User Voice idea in Utkarsh's answer is gone.
