AuthorizationMicrosoft 365 connector; check endpoint support for delegated and application access.
Microsoft Graph requestGET /me/chats/{chatId}/members/{membershipId} (delegated); /users/{userId}/chats/{chatId}/members/{membershipId} (application path in implementation)

Prerequisites and permissions

Configure a CloudTools Connector with Connector Type set to Microsoft 365. Complete Microsoft sign-in for OAuth Delegated (Authorization Code). For endpoints supporting OAuth Application (Client Credentials), grant application permissions and administrator consent. The identity must have access to the selected resource. See Creating an Entra ID App and Integration Connectors for setup.

The action permission provider declares these alternatives. They are not cumulative requirements, and not all are least privileged. Confirm endpoint restrictions and any resource-specific consent requirements in the Microsoft reference.

Permission typeDeclared alternatives
DelegatedChat.ReadBasic, ChatMember.ReadWrite, Chat.Read, Chat.ReadWrite, ChatMember.Read
ApplicationChatMember.Read.All, ChatMember.ReadWrite.All, Chat.Manage.Chat, Chat.Read.All, Chat.ReadBasic.All, Chat.ReadWrite.All, ChatMember.Read.Chat, TeamMember.Read.Group

Endpoints: /me/chats/{chatId}/members/{membershipId} (delegated); /users/{userId}/chats/{chatId}/members/{membershipId} (application path in implementation). Resource-specific consent and installation requirements apply to resource-specific permissions.

See the Microsoft operation and permissions reference.

Inputs

InputApex fieldTypeRequiredDescription
User IduserIdStringNoMicrosoft user identifier or UPN
Chat IdchatIdStringYesMS Teams chat identifier
Membership IdmembershipIdStringYesMS Teams chat membership identifier

Supply a nonempty list with a non-null first request. This implementation processes only the first request and does not bulk-process Flow interviews. Global inputs do not expose connectorId; Flow and subscriber Apex use CloudTools connector selection. Use Microsoft Graph IDs, not Salesforce IDs or browser links. Resolve dynamic values before invoking this action.

Outputs

Returns one MSTeamsConversationMember inside a list, or an empty list if no resource is mapped. Check for an empty result before reading fields.

Behavior and limits

MSTeamsAction uses /me/chats for delegated access, ignoring User Id in that path. Its application user-chat path is /users/{userId}/chats; message mutations instead use /chats/{chatId} where shown above. Check the Microsoft reference if a user-scoped path is rejected.

User Id is conditionally required by runtime validation unless the connector uses Authorization Code Flow, even though the invocable field is marked optional.

Use in Flow

Add MS Teams – Chats – Get Chat Member where supported. Use a Microsoft 365 application connector configured as Set as default for Flow automations only if the endpoint supports the required application operation. Delegated connections are not supported for CloudTools Flow automation. Supply required values, retain outputs, and add fault handling.

Use in custom Apex

This subscriber-org example uses the Apptigent namespace. Replace example identifiers and values before use. Configure the connector, arrange authorization first, run in a context permitting callouts, and handle exceptions and empty results.

Apptigent.GetMSTeamsChatMember.GetMSTeamsChatMemberInput request =
    new Apptigent.GetMSTeamsChatMember.GetMSTeamsChatMemberInput();
request.userId = 'd7b45f12-8a16-4a1f-95f1-dfde7f2af91b';
request.chatId = '19:1c5b01696d2e4a179c292bc9cf04e63b@thread.v2';
request.membershipId = 'ZWUwZjY5Ni1jYTI4LTQxZjAtODlmZi0wYjQ2ZDY3MWQ5MjIjMCMjMCMj';

List<Apptigent.MSTeamsConversationMember> results =
    Apptigent.GetMSTeamsChatMember.getChatMember(
        new List<Apptigent.GetMSTeamsChatMember.GetMSTeamsChatMemberInput>{ request }
    );
System.debug(results);

Use in a Lightning Web Component

Use getMSTeamsChatMember from msTeamsConnectorLib through MSTeamsConnectorController. Set request.connectorId to select a configured connector. These c/ imports apply in the same namespace. The controller uses a shared request DTO; its field names differ from the global invocable input.

teamsActionExample.js

import { LightningElement } from 'lwc';
import { getMSTeamsChatMember } from 'c/msTeamsConnectorLib';

export default class TeamsActionExample extends LightningElement {
    result = null;
    errorMessage = '';
    isRunning = false;
    completed = false;

    async handleRun() {
        if (this.isRunning || this.completed) return;
        this.isRunning = true;
        this.errorMessage = '';
        try {
            const request = { connectorId: 'REPLACE_WITH_CONNECTOR_RECORD_ID' };
            request.userId = 'd7b45f12-8a16-4a1f-95f1-dfde7f2af91b';
            request.chatId = '19:1c5b01696d2e4a179c292bc9cf04e63b@thread.v2';
            request.memberId = 'ZWUwZjY5Ni1jYTI4LTQxZjAtODlmZi0wYjQ2ZDY3MWQ5MjIjMCMjMCMj';
            this.result = await getMSTeamsChatMember(request);
            this.completed = true;
        } catch (error) {
            this.errorMessage = error.requiresInteractiveAuthorization
                ? 'Sign in to Microsoft for the connector, then try again.'
                : error.message || 'The Teams action failed.';
        } finally {
            this.isRunning = false;
        }
    }
}

The library resolves to one mapped object or null. rawJson serializes the mapped Apex model rather than the untouched Microsoft response. Message body, membership roles, and nested properties can be flattened or serialized in JavaScript DTOs.

Use getMSTeamsAuthorizationState, beginMSTeamsAuthorization, and createMSTeamsOAuthMessageHandler to arrange delegated sign-in. The library normalizes errors but does not automatically sign in or retry. Reset completed for a new deliberate operation. Inspect resource state before retrying a mutation with an uncertain outcome.

Error handling and troubleshooting

SymptomWhat to check
Required fields errorSupply a nonempty request list, a non-null first request, and required or conditionally required values. For LWC, check controller mappings.
Authorization or access deniedCheck selected connector, delegated versus application support, consent, Teams app installation where required, and access to the resource.
Resource not foundCheck team, channel, chat, message, membership, and app installation IDs; these are distinct identifiers.
Missing dataCheck pagination, query support, empty-response behavior, and documented model mapping.
Operation rejectedInspect the Microsoft error, endpoint restrictions, supported properties, message authorization limits, and notification configuration.
