Custom link to a teams chat with a person (Call to action or button)
Hello Dynamicshs
yes, use the correct email address after "users=" instead of "email address removed for privacy reasons ", that will open a chat with the person you have mentioned in the "users=" parameter.
Best, Dave
DaveMehr365 that still doesn't work, but you would think it would! We still have to manually enter their name unfortunately.
Hi both,
I do have the same issue. I think it is related to the "@" in the email address. If I create in SharePoint a call for action as a buttom with a url link, it is transforming the "@" out of the email within the URL to the MS Teams Chat into "%40" after saving what I edited. DaveMehr365 Could that cause the issue? From my logical point of view, the user cannot be identified in MS Teams due to that. Than MS Teams will only create a "New conversation/chat"(due to not found) and you have to type the name or search for the name again.

if you replace the @ with %40 which is the ascii code for @ it will work. You can also create a group text by linking email addresses together with %2C which is ascii for a comma.
