Start approval for new documents and notify via Teams

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

Hi all,

I am trying to use this template to notify one of my Teams members to obtain their flow approval whenever a document is uploaded into my Sharepoint site Documents library.  I receive the following error when I run the Flow at the Post Message step "teamGroupId needs to be a valid GUID". At the Post Message step, for the Team box I type in the name of my team from MS Teams, but this seems to be incorrect.  Where do I obtain its valid GUID?

Thanks

Sheldon

    Hi @sheldonp 

     

    Can you share a screenshot of the flow you have created? Ideally, you should be able to see the team in the dropdown when you configure the action. 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Hi there,

    The insert/edit image button in this response box does not seem to have a browse for file where I can upload my png snip file. I tried both the Team and the Channel mid point of the string between the % signs but neither worked (re get link to Channel ... in top right corner of screen). I also tried the natural English name of my team but that did not seem to work either. I am just starting out learning PA and so I am just likely missing seeing something. Thanks for your thoughts.
