Teams Get Chat Message Node errors sometimes

Sometimes the Microsoft Teams Get Chat Message node returns the error, “The message you are trying to get doesn’t exist.” However, when I retry the same request a few minutes later, it always works.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I am using version 2.6.3.

Hi @casper12340

Welcome to the n8n community :tada: !

Based on general guidance in the n8n docs, here’s what you can try:

  1. Add retry logic Enable “Retry On Fail” in the node’s Settings so transient failures are automatically retried. This is the recommended pattern for intermittent API/network issues.

  2. Use HTTP Request + Graph API as a fallback If the built-in operation keeps failing intermittently, you can call the Microsoft Graph API directly with the HTTP Request node using your existing Microsoft credentials. This approach is suggested when an operation isn’t supported or is too limited in the native node.

Since this exact symptom isn’t documented, I’d recommend sharing your workflow snippet That way I can check whether this is a regression in version 2.6.3 or a backend quirk with the API.

Refreshing your credentials would help as you have mentioned everything works fine when tried multiple times, consider refreshing your credentials or revoke them and this is a service error not error related to n8n. Hope this helps.
