Is there a supported way to programmatically add an SPFx tab in Teams channel via Graph API? #7438

Closed CloudDesignBox closed 2 years ago

CloudDesignBox commented 2 years ago

What type of issue is this?

Question

What SharePoint development model, framework, SDK or API is this about?

other (enter in the "Additional environment details" area below)

Target SharePoint environment

SharePoint Online

What browser(s) / client(s) have you tested

Additional environment details

Graph API to provision SPFx tabs (e.g. via C# Azure functions, PowerShell, other methods).

Issue description

There is documentation on how to add the following tabs programmatically - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs

There is no documentation on adding SPFx tabs. You can add a document library or a web page but not a tab deployed via SPFx. This would be really useful when provisioning teams and extending the Teams experience.

Thanks, Tony

hey @CloudDesignBox, yes: adding an SPFx based tab using Microsoft Graph APIs is supported only when added in a non configured state. configuration will then need to happen upon user visiting the tab.

I've submitted a change in the documentation to reflect that.

Thank you for the clarification @lucabandMSFT! Do you know if there is any plans to enable API setup of SPFx tabs (or even just the SharePoint page tab)? Using the website tab as suggested requires the user to sign-in again which is not the case with Viva Connections or the official SharePoint tabs. It means provisioning teams at scale for education and business is lacking the ability to customise the channel tabs programmatically. Thanks!
