The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.
- Complete the Setup steps.
- Add the Microsoft Teams Scope activity to your project.
- Add an activity or run an external process that outputs a
Team.Idvalue (e.g., Get Teams) AND an activity or external process that outputs aChannel.Idvalue (e.g., Get Channels). - Add the Update Channel activity inside the Microsoft Teams Scope activity.
