Msteams-docs: Post a message to the webhook using cURL

[camiloxs]

The example given there does not work.

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"text\": \"Hello World\"}' <YOUR WEBHOOK URL>

It should be update to something like this:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"@context": "http://schema.org/extensions","@type": "MessageCard", "text": "Hello World"}' <YOUR WEBHOOK URL>

Try formatting the json without the slashes and it works! I have also put the payload with -d at the end.

Please feel free to reopen if you have further query

The documentation needs to be changed to remove the escaping slashes from the payload.

This fixes the issue: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/issues/1649

In this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/connectors-using#post-a-message-to-the-webhook-using-curl

// on macOS or Linux
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"text\": \"Hello World\"}' <YOUR WEBHOOK URL>

This returns:
Bad payload received by generic incoming webhook.

The correct command is:
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"text": "Hello World"}' <YOUR WEBHOOK URL>
without the backslashes \

This returns:
