I'm trying to use the preview feature for posting as the Power Virtual Agent in a chat. I have the power automate flow bot create a group chat with several users then use the "post a message in chat or channel" TEAMS connector with post as PVA selected. However, the post a message connector eventually times out after multiple failed attempts with error "internal server error". My best guess is that since the PVA wasn't added when the chat was created it can't post a message in that chat but I have no idea how to add the PVA to the chat with Power Automate. As far a I know the bot doesn't have an email address or UPN to be able to add to the "participants" field of the create a chat connector. Any idea how one would accomplish this? TIA
Hi @kgreen8790,
First of all it is maybe good to know that pro-active messages can only be posted to a single user in a personal chat with the bot:
If you want to send it to multiple recipients you can use the workaround which is also described in that Microsoft Doc:
Secondly, Post In requires you to select the type of message (Chat with bot, Channel or Group Chat). I see you used that field to refer to the Conversation ID. The action cannot handle this, this is why you are getting the internal server error.
Below would be a configuration which should work to interact with your bot.
