Format Options

You can specify the format parameter to control the message formatting:

• text (default): Plain text
• markdown: Markdown formatting (bold, italic, lists, links, code, etc.) - converted to sanitized HTML

When format is set to markdown, the message content is converted to HTML using a secure markdown parser and sanitized to remove potentially dangerous content before being sent to Teams.

If format is not specified, the message will be sent as plain text.

Example Usage

{
  "teamId": "...",
  "channelId": "...",
  "message": "**Bold text** and _italic text_\n\n- List item 1\n- List item 2\n\n[Link](https://example.com)",
  "format": "markdown"
}

{
  "chatId": "...",
  "message": "Simple plain text message",
  "format": "text"
