Someone still has to send chat message. It does not have to be you
Hand a companion the outcome. It reads the Microsoft Teams channels, does the 12-operation version of the job, and stops for your click on anything that changes a record.
Open the channel. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Microsoft Teams afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a channel until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Microsoft Teams exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 12 operations, 9 reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can send a chat message, send a channel message and create a channel, and work across the channels, channel messages and chat messages.
The Microsoft Teams API stops at Microsoft Teams. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Where do the channels come from?
9 of the 12 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can get a current user, list channel messages and list teams, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Microsoft Teams's documentation.
The channels are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the channel messages. A companion can hold all 12 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Microsoft Teams admin becomes a queue you review.
- Get Current User
- List Channel Messages
- List Teams
- List Chats
- Search Messages
- List Shifts
- List Messages in Chat
- List Channels
- Get Chat Message
Who signs off on a new channel message?
All 3 write operations wait for you.
A companion can send a chat message, send a channel message and create a channel, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the channel, the field and the new value before it lands in Microsoft Teams.
Nothing in Microsoft Teams is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the channel exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

What does the recurring channels pass look like?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Microsoft Teams channels pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the messages, the Microsoft Teams channels sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
