In Power Automate Desktop (PAD), can a user without a Power Automate Premium license use the Microsoft Teams action “Post message in a chat or channel”?

I have Premium, but I need to know whether non-premium users can use/run a PAD flow that includes this action.

Hi RU-31100714-0 ,

Non-premium users also can use Microsoft Teams action “Post message in a chat or channel” in PAD. To identify premium actions you can check the diamond Icon in the action set in PAD action panel as shown below.

Hi @RU-31100714-0,

No Premium license is required if the user has a Microsoft 365 license. “Post a message in a chat or channel” is a Microsoft Teams connector action, and the Teams connector is a standard connector that Microsoft 365–licensed users can use.

Details:

Standard vs Premium: Microsoft 365 licenses include use of standard connectors; Premium is only needed for premium/custom connectors or premium features. The Teams connector isn’t listed among Premium connectors, so it’s standard.

PAD support: Power Automate for desktop exposes cloud connectors (including Microsoft Teams) inside desktop flows, so the action is available there as well.

When Premium is required: If you use any Premium features (for example, unattended desktop flows/RPA, premium or custom connectors, on‑premises data gateway, Dataverse premium capabilities), you’ll need appropriate Premium licensing.

Best regards,

Valantis
