- Hello themashcodee2- Thanks for raising your query.
For a user to receive proactive messages, install the app for the user or make the user a part of a team in which the app is installed.

- Thanks Chetan! These documentations really helped me a lot.
I tried the notification bot sample from vscode teams toolkit extension and it is able to send a dm to a user without requiring the user to install the app so it solved my problem.
Please let me know if notification bot process is wrong for my use case.- ChetanSharma-msft
Actually, it depends on your requirement, but this is one of the correct approaches.
Please share your valuable feedback via Microsoft Teams Developer Feedback link.- Oh Okay.
One last question, is there a way I can create a group chat and also invite the bot into it at the time so that I can send a message to that group chat later?
Thanks, I shared the feedback via link.
