Open an Existing Group Chat via URL or Deep Link

ChristianJBergstrom I should have mentioned this. We'd like to use these chat rooms with open ended users. Mean that the room is used over and over by responders of an incident and the responders vary from chat to chat. We plan to have a pool of rooms and round robin thru them as incidents occur.
The command that you mentioned seems to require a static list of users. It seems to be trying to open a new chat for me.
- Hi, I suppose you can develop a bot app that can add the user into the required group chat with chat histories by graphAPI, but you should consider more regarding the security and data protection. since once the app has permission to add anyone into any chat group. then the chat history will open for anyone.
