Not receiving missed activity email for the messages received from the bot in Teams personal chat

Hello @VipassanaMahale

Currently, Microsoft Teams does not send missed activity emails for messages received from bots in personal chats. This behavior is standard and cannot be altered through any settings within the Teams Toolkit Extension for VS Code or the Teams app itself.

However, here are a few potential workarounds you can consider:

• Custom Notifications: You can develop a custom notification bot using the Teams Toolkit to send email notifications when a bot message is sent in a personal chat.
          Create a New Bot Project:
  • Open Visual Studio Code.
  • Install the Teams Toolkit Extension if you haven't already.
  • Create a new project using the Teams Toolkit and select "Bot".
    Add Notification Logic:
  • In the bot's code, add logic to send an email using an external service like SendGrid or SMTP when a message is received.

    • Device permissions for the browser - Device permissions for the browser
    
    
    • Test and debug your Microsoft Teams bot - Blocking a bot in personal chat

     

• Activity Feed Notifications: Utilize activity feed notifications to alert users of messages from bots, though this won't directly translate to email notifications.
