Send an email to a channel in Microsoft Teams
You can send an email to a channel in Teams, by using the channel email address. The email and any attachments become part of the channel conversation. Anyone can reply to it to start a conversation. The replies stay within the Team and the original sender of the email does not receive replies; unless the sender is a member of the Team.
