Gousia_Begum Thanks for your reply

When I use Messaging Extensions I am receiving a 'FetchTask' event, and I am returning a task with a URL, so a "Teams browser" is open.

In the web page displayed with that URL, I add a text link (<a href=linkToPersonalChat>Open personal chat</a>). I want this link opens directly the personal chat in Teams client (as happens when use a button in a Card sent a channel), but what I see is Teams page in this "Teams browser".

I hope you can understand me

Thanks,
Diego

  diegoSpace If you are trying to open the link from a web page you could pass it under microsoftTeams.executeDeeplink('yourdeeplink url'); If you want to open it using a card, please try putting a Action.OpenURL which will directly open the chat with the user.

    Gousia_BegumThanks for your reply.
    
    If I try to use 'microsoftTeams.executeDeeplink' in the web page displayed in a task I get an error: 'microsoftTeams.executeDeeplink is not a function'. However, 'microsoftTeams.tasks.submitTask();' is working
    
    Do I need to add something to use the 'executeDeeplink'?
