Add or run a workflow from the messaging area in Microsoft Teams
Many workflows can be run from the messaging area in Teams. Some let you create and insert rich content into a new message. Others let you do things like schedule a message to be sent at a later time. What they all have in common is they let you customize the messaging experience to be more useful to you and your team.
