Admin notifications for Custom app submissions

We ask that you pardon our delay of this earlier planned feature release.  As previously messaged (MC260561 – June 2021), this feature update makes it so that when a developer submits a custom app through the Teams App Submission API for IT admin approval, you will receive a notification in a dedicated Teams channel. You’ll then be able to review and take the necessary steps to publish the app.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 82512.
