# MS Teams send message

## Locate the chat

1. List tabs with `agent-browser tab` and identify the Teams tab.
2. Switch to it with `agent-browser tab tN`.
3. Inspect it with `agent-browser snapshot -i -c`.
4. Click the target chat's current ref, then take a fresh snapshot.

Prefer an already open authenticated Teams tab. Do not open a duplicate if one exists.

## Send

After confirming the draft is correct, either click the `Send (Ctrl+Enter)` button from the latest snapshot or use:

```bash
agent-browser press Control+Enter
```

Only send when the user explicitly requested sending. If they asked to compose, type, draft, or prepare a message, stop before sending.

Do not rely on Enter alone because Teams behavior varies with the user's “send on Enter” setting. `Shift+Enter` is for line breaks.

## Confirm delivery

Wait for a distinctive substring and inspect the resulting state:

```bash
agent-browser wait --text 'distinctive message substring'
agent-browser snapshot -i -c
```

Teams may also announce `Message sent.` through an atomic live region. Never report success without verifying the sent message or confirmation state.

## Cleanup

If an unwanted test draft exists, focus the editor, press `Control+a`, then `Delete`. Verify the empty placeholder before navigating away.
