    Hi DMarcolo ,

     

    So in terms of getting the Channel link for a Channel of a Team:

    GET /teams/{TeamId}

    GET /teams/{TeamId}/channels

     

    And to specify a link that will take you within a Channel of a Team an example is shown here:
    https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/{ChannelId}/conversations?tenantId={TenantId}

    "webUrl":

    https://teams.microsoft.com/_#/conversations/General?threadId=19:b91a8b7e7b1046e78b21c4d405eb3003@thread.tacv2&ctx=channel

    Reference Documentation:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/team-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/channel-list?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
     
    And have a play at: https://aka.ms/ge
     

    Thanks

    Thanks HenryPhillipsNimbitech , 

    now I see/have the team link and channel link correctly!

     

    What about "pre-authenticated" link ? 

    Is there a way to generate a pre-authenticated link that overtake the SignIn process?

    Like: I want to generate, via API, a link for a specific user that point to a specific team/team channel. Clicking on this link user will be auto LoggedIn to the given Team. I know that API is mainly meant to process things "backend" and is not a standard flow, but this might be an expected process. Since I'm able to act on behalf of a user I should be able to give him a fast way to directly log in into Teams without doing a LogIn every time ( eventually with a limited time frame to do this "auto login" ).

     

    Does the API have something to achieve this ?

      Hi DMarcolo ,

      The best I can do is refer you to:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/graph/auth/?context=graph%2Fapi%2F1.0&view=graph-rest-1.0

       

      You could also try reaching out to one of the Microsoft Graph team by way of Twitter too.

       

      Thanks

       

      Henry
