Posting a SharePoint image to Teams using Power Automate

Posted on by MF-25061709-0

We have a group that does virtual presentations every month. What I'd like to have happen is when the new flyer (saved as an image) is dropped into the SharePoint folder have it send a message to the group on Teams. The file name will change monthly so having the URL to the Microsoft Graph HTTP request wasn't going to work since if I'd have to change it monthly, I might as well just manually post it all together.

In my current flow I was able to get the team tagged (to alert there's a new activity) using the Microsoft Graph HTTP request and in a separate post, have a message with the link for our group SharePoint. I cannot get them both in the same post as the HTTP request will not configure a link with a title and I cannot get the thumbnail for the SharePoint file in the message.

I'm new to Power Automate and YouTube has gotten me this far.

- Is it possible to get it all in one post?

- Is there a work-around to get the image to show without being in a 3rd post using adaptive card? I didn't try this but from what I was seeing that would currently be the only way to also post the actual image.

Here are screenshots of my current flow.

Hi @MF-25061709-0,

You could for example use a HTTP request instead and use the file content instead of the link.

Below is a great example from Manish Solanki which demonstrates this approach:

Hi @Expiscornovus

The image will change monthly though so it wouldn't have the same URL to do that.

The link I have in the message goes to our SharePoint page so users can see all upcoming sessions and events, it's not to the image.

Hi @MF-25061709-0,

The example was to share the Graph API approach of attaching content. You can also use a dynamic image for that. In the example it was the same image. However, you can look up your file dynamically via the identifier property.

That field should be available in the dynamic content list as part of your trigger action outputs.

@Expiscornovus

The dynamic image just added a link to the image from SharePoint, it didn't attach the actual image. I tried multiple thumbnail sizes and every image option there is from the dynamic options.
