Channels

Channels table for MSTeams data provider.

Table Specific Information

Select

Query the Channels table by retrieving all channels in all teams or by specifying TeamId. The add-in uses the Microsoft Teams API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following columns and operators:

TeamId supports the '=' and IN operators. The rest of the columns support the '=', '!=', IN, LIKE, IS, IS NOT operator.

The rest of the filter is executed client side within the add-in

For example, the following queries are processed server side:

SELECT * FROM Channels WHERE TeamId IN ('da838338-4e77-4c05-82a6-79d9f0274511', 'da838338-4e77-4c05-82a6-79d9f0274555')

SELECT * FROM Channels WHERE TeamId = 'da838338-4e77-4c05-82a6-79d9f0274511' AND Id = '19:[email protected]'

SELECT * FROM Channels WHERE description != 'desc'

SELECT * FROM Channels WHERE webUrl LIKE '%teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/%'
