Teams bot reminder and track automatically

I have an idea to create a bot for Microsoft Teams with the following functions:

For example, when I use the Teams calendar to plan my tasks (as simple reminders of when to do something), I sometimes miss them. Now imagine having a bot that can crawl the calendar data of users in a group (about 10–15 people) and automatically send notification messages to remind them to perform their scheduled tasks.

When a task is completed, the bot would send an Adaptive Card with a button for users to confirm they’ve finished. The confirmation data would then be recorded in a tracking file stored on SharePoint.

In other words, it would be a fully integrated bot.

I’m using Teams Premium — is this possible?

    Hi Tomlin Izie,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    After carefully reviewing your requirements, I researched the relevant Microsoft documentation and prepared the following consolidated approach that maps directly to your intended logic, with precise references for each step.

    Calendar access. Read each targeted user’s calendar to identify items to remind. You can use Microsoft Graph Calendar APIs for working with calendars and events. References: https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/graph/api/resources/calendar-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0

    Optional trigger: subscribe per user to change notifications on /users/{id}/events to react to create/update/delete (no tenant‑wide calendar subscription). Reference discussion confirming the per‑user approach: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79610026/how-to-listen-for-meeting-update-or-cancellation-events-at-the-tenant-level-in-m

    Proactive reminders in Teams. Ensure the bot app is installed for the user (personal scope) and persist the conversation ID/reference at install or first interaction. At the scheduled time, create/reuse the 1:1 conversation and send a proactive reminder. References: https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/conversations/send-proactive-messages?tabs=dotnet

    User completion via Adaptive Card. Present an Adaptive Card with a “Mark as completed” button. Handle the submission (Invoke) in the bot and capture the user identity plus contextual payload (e.g., eventId, taskTitle). References: sample bot that sends and processes Adaptive Card actions: https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/samples/officedev/microsoft-teams-samples/officedev-microsoft-teams-samples-bot-adaptivecard-actions-csharp/

    Persist tracking to SharePoint. On submission, write a record to a SharePoint list (e.g., Title, EventId, CompletedBy, CompletedAt, optional Note) using Microsoft Graph. Reference: https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/graph/api/listitem-create?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

    I hope this help! If you have any further questions, please feel free to share.
