Posted on by ArnoldB

I am in the middle of creating visitor management app and when user check-in from the app, I would like to create button to notify people (Office 365) via Teams chat. Would this possible?

Senario is

Welcome screen - user check in. User need to identify who they are visiting which is in office365 list
Choices([@'sharepoint_datasource''].PersonVisit)
I would like to create button
1. Once button is clicked, can Choices([@'sharepoint_datasource''].PersonVisit) be notified from Microsoft Teams chat?

Hi @ArnoldB ,

You can do it with Power Automate.

I made a sample for you.

Create a comboBox and a button where the user can choose who to access.

Create a flow that can post messages in chat.

Add flow to the app and set the OnSelect property of Button as follows:

Create a global variable ‘Person’ with the email address of the user selected in the combobox, and bring ‘Person’ into the flow to

Hi @v-xiaochen-msft
thanks for the solution.
After I connected with power automated, it seems chat is not showing on our Team site.
Is it because our team site is not working or because of component box is looking for Office 365 people?

Hi @ArnoldB ,

Did your flow run successfully? Could you show me some screenshots of the details of the flow running history?

Besides, do you want the user to receive the message in chat, or in the teams channel?

Hi @ArnoldB ,

In PowerApps, 'person' may be a predefined variable. Please change the name of the variable 'person' to something else.

After modification, please refresh your flow in powerapps edit mode.

I just did this same thing and discovered that the recipient can have no trailing semicolon, nor can it contain the email of the person running the flow. The second restriction does not seem to apply, but you should remove the trailing semicolon from the Post Message action Recipient field.
