How do I delete a Teams message?
Short answer: You can delete teams message in Microsoft Teams by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Microsoft Teams Delete Teams Message action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

What happens if Microsoft Teams returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Microsoft Teams returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Delete Teams Message support batch operations?
