Remarks
The ability for your app to communicate with your organization's Teams is very powerful. This means your app can auto-generate tasks, follow-reminders, and other activities when certain criteria within your app is met. The possibilities are limitless.
Specify a date in the future to create a reminder for the receiving team as your message will not appear in their queue until the specified date.
Restrictions Warning
In order to prevent too many teams messages from being generated, this function is restricted to running within the Ux.Shutdown event. This event is triggered one time when your app is closed. When used inside any other runtime event, this function will be ignored and will not generate a new teams message.
Additionally, this function will only run the first time your app is closed. Any subsequent executions of your app will ignore this function and will not generate a new teams message.
