Data : {"topic":{"source":"text","value":"New message","WebUrl":"https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/XXXX/YYY"},"activityType":"mldt_notify","previewText":{"content":"Check New Messaging"}}
Another observation API sometimes works and randomly gives below gives :
Application with AAD App Id 'XXXXXX' is not authorized to generate custom text notifications about '/v1.0/users/XXXXXX/teamwork/Microsoft.Teams.GraphSvc.sendActivityNotification' to the recipient. Ensure that the expected Teams app is installed in the target scope (user, team, or chat).

Pratapkarn2186 -No need to assigning the app created to users.- Sayali-MSFTWe tried with the manifest you shared it worked for us. Also included the request body you shared and changed team and user id's it also worked.
Can you try to change id in your manifest and see all old instances are deleted.

Pratapkarn2186 - Have you try to test your API using Postman tool?
The app is published in personal scope, then I search for the application and just add.
I don't see any option for scope, but it says "works in Teams"
Is something else that needs to be done ??- Sayali-MSFTPratapkarn2186 - Could you please create a new app and install the app in relevant scope (teams or group chat) to make the API work.
Also the API requires few application level permissions to work.
While testing it using Graph Explorer, it will create its own app id that is not related to actual app, that's why it is causing forbidden error. Could you please try to test your API using Postman tool.
