How to create connector programmatically?
I have a web application that has channels that I would like to allow the users to map 1:1 to channels in Teams.
The channels will always keep the 1:1 mapping so as they create channels in the application or teams I would like to have them be able to create a connector between the two so that they can send massages to Teams.
I've already completed this with Slack (https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks#generating_incoming_webhook_urls_programmatically). But the documentation for Teams makes it seem like a connector is a static/rigid entity that has to be manually mapped by a user. Is this true?
If so what is anot

Please take a look Teams connector sample code.
Let me know if this doesn't help you.
Trinetra-MSFT Looking at these examples I don't think a connector is what I need.
I want to have more flexibility and not need the user to manually install it to every team in their organization then enable it on each channel.
Looking at the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/channel-post-messages?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http it looks like utilizing oAuth to get a token, then being able to post a message to any channel on any team on behalf of a user is the functionality I am looking for.
However, to request the permission"https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/oauth2/v2.0/authorize"
It looks like the Teams account has to be work or school which is fine, but that the user requesting it has to be the administrator.How can I set up a test environment for this? When I create my own teams account it is setup as personal.adamhouck , Please take a look at enable teams for your org.
