How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Reply To Message" activity onto the workflow.

- Optionally, configure the delay.
- Execute the workflow to add a reply to the specified message within Microsoft Teams.
Example: Consider an example where the "Reply To Message" activity is used to respond to a message in a Teams channel:
Reply To Message:
Delay: 2
Team ID: "abcd1234"
Channel ID: "efgh5678"
Message ID: "ijkl9012"
Message Reply: "Thank you for your message!"
Result: isReplySuccessful
In this example, the activity waits for 2 seconds before executing, adds a reply to the message with the ID "ijkl9012" in the channel with the ID "efgh5678" within the team with the ID "abcd1234." The result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isReplySuccessful" for further handling in the workflow.
