How to use:

- Optionally, configure the delay.
- Execute the workflow to update the specified channel within Microsoft Teams.
Example: Consider an example where the "Update Channel" activity is used to change the name of a channel in Microsoft Teams:
Update Channel:
Delay: 2
Team ID: "abcd1234"
Channel ID: "efgh5678"
New Name: "UpdatedChannel"
Result: isUpdateSuccessful
In this example, the activity waits for 2 seconds before executing, updates the channel with the ID "efgh5678" in the team with the ID "abcd1234" to the new name "UpdatedChannel." The result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isUpdateSuccessful" for further handling in the workflow.
