Description

The existing "Send Chat Message" pipedream action does not allow us to include the additional property "hostedContents" which would let us send the inline encoded image.

https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/blob/master/components/microsoft_teams/actions/send-chat-message/send-chat-message.mjs

In a previous request, the "send message to channel" action was updated, but not this one.

Is there a specific app this action is for? microsoft teams

Please provide a link to the relevant API docs for the specific service / operation.

Research direction
The action file is at components/microsoft teams/actions/send chat message/send chat message.mjs. The Microsoft Graph API docs example 6 shows how to include inline images using the hostedContents property. The task is to add this property to the action's request body, handling the encoding of the image. Ensure the new property is optional and backward compatible.
