Bulk add contacts to Teams
Hi all,
Is there any way to bulk add contacts to Teams? This is under the Chat > Contacts section that I am referring to?
Whenever we have a new user join the company, they have to manually add contacts to Teams. There must be an easier way than this?
Thanks.
Hello, are you proficient with scripting?
With some tweaking you could use this script I made, I plan to improve it and publish itImport-Module AADInternals #This will prompt for credentials so it supports MFA login $token = Get-AADIntAccessTokenForTeams $skypeToken = Get-AADIntSkypeToken -AccessToken $token Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://teams.microsoft.com/api/mt/part/amer-03/beta/contacts/buddylist/RgAAAAClggzHMV84T7CuooP5TJakBwCn8NvzZtw-Rb1w2SeP68PUAAALK2GmAACn8NvzZtw-Rb1w2SeP68PUAAALLAIqAAAA0/managebuddies?migrationRequested=true&federatedContactsSupported=true" ` -Method "POST" ` -Headers @{ "authority"="teams.microsoft.com" "method"="POST" "path"="/api/mt/part/amer-03/beta/contacts/buddylist/RgAAAAClggzHMV84T7CuooP5TJakBwCn8NvzZtw-Rb1w2SeP68PUAAALK2GmAACn8NvzZtw-Rb1w2SeP68PUAAALLAIqAAAA0/managebuddies?migrationRequested=true&federatedContactsSupported=true" "scheme"="https" "accept"="application/json, text/plain, */*" "accept-encoding"="gzip, deflate, br" "accept-language"="en-US,en;q=0.9,es;q=0.8,es-ES;q=0.7,en-GB;q=0.6" "authorization"="Bearer $token" "origin"="https://teams.microsoft.com" "referer"="https://teams.microsoft.com/_" "sec-ch-ua"="`"Chromium`";v=`"110`", `"Not A(Brand`";v=`"24`", `"Microsoft Edge`";v=`"110`"" "sec-ch-ua-mobile"="?0" "sec-ch-ua-platform"="`"Windows`"" "sec-fetch-dest"="empty" "sec-fetch-mode"="cors" "sec-fetch-site"="same-origin" "x-anchormailbox"="email address removed for privacy reasons" "x-ms-client-env"="pds-prod-azsc-usea-01" "x-ms-client-type"="web" "x-ms-client-version"="1415/1.0.0.2023020626" "x-ms-scenario-id"="468" "x-ms-session-id"="cef7e701-18bc-4767-60f8-3ec240794968" "x-ms-user-type"="null" "x-ringoverride"="general" "x-skypetoken"=$skypeToken } ` -ContentType "application/json;charset=UTF-8" ` -Body "{`"add`":[{`"mri`":`"8:orgid:7c4cb78f-aa4f-4cc6-953f-d0b55c1ca6d9`",`"displayName`":`"Isaiah Langer`",`"isFederated`":false,`"email`":`"email address removed for privacy reasons`"}]}"the last line is the one you need to tweak with the desired contact to add to favorites.

- Hi Andres,
Thanks for your reply - I'm not brilliant with scripting, but I am working on it.
Not sure how I managed to mark your reply as the best answer lol.
