Send a Welcome Message in a Microsoft Teams Notification Bot

The blog discusses how to send a welcome message in a Microsoft Teams notification bot using Azure Functions with JavaScript.
The process involves leveraging the conversationUpdate event to automate the delivery of a welcome message every time the bot is added to a new conversation.
The bot is initialized using Azure Functions with a specific URL endpoint for triggering actions.
The bot handles the conversationUpdate event to trigger the welcome message when added to a conversation.
The welcome message includes details such as the conversation type, ID, and the bot's HTTP endpoint.
Steps to send a welcome message using an Azure HTTP trigger include setting up the Azure Function and updating the code in the teamsBot.js file.
The Azure Function HTTP trigger listens to incoming activities and processes them based on the type of event, such as conversationUpdate.
By combining Azure Functions with the Bot Framework and Microsoft Teams, users can create a more personalized and interactive experience for their users without managing a full server infrastructure.
