This is activity feed notification, is it possible to send notifications in apps that are added in MS Teams ?
Also, can I send this activity feed notification using Logic apps based on some trigger ? If yes, could you share some documentation how ?

- Hi lakshay451,
It will not be possible to send notifications inside app that are installed in teams. However if you want to send notification to a particular app you can integrate bot and send proactive message.
Also you can send activity feed notifications using logic app. You will have to trigger the graph API mentioned here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-send-activityfeednotifications- "send notification to a particular app you can integrate bot and send proactive message"
Could you tell how can this be achieved ?lakshay451 It's not clear how you define "in-app notifications", however you have multiple ways to tackle this.
- Send a chat message to a user or channel message to a team, with your desired content and a deep link to content within your app. The message may be formatted as plain text, markdown or as an adaptive card
- Build UI inside your app that draws attention to particular contents of your app. This will not draw attention to your app, but to particular content within your app. This could be coachmarks, teaching bubbles, first-run splash screens, etc
You can send messages using a custom bot you implement, or using Microsoft Teams connector from a Power Automate flow or Azure Logic App.
