Formatted text when using a Flow to post on Yammer

Posted on by LHS

I am trying to format the "Message Text" of the "Yammer Post Message" to have bold text. I have tried the "<b> test </b>" that was suggested in other questions that were addressing emails created by Flow, and it did not work. Please help if this is possible to do!

Hi @LHS ,

Yammer messages currently support rich text format, but it seems that in Flow, Post message action cannot be used to format messages.

If you want similar features to be supported by MS Flow, consider voting for similar ideas below:

Has anyone managed to attach images using HTML?
I have an MS Form to which an image can be uploaded, the Form then posts to Yammer as an announcement which I have formatted using HTML but cant get images to show, possibly because the image is store on OneDrive maybe when added to the MS Form.

You can send an email to the Yammer community with images. You lose the ability to format text as HTML though... Too bad we can't add images directly via Power Automate or update a post after it is made.

Have you tried the base64 method within the HMTL? Not sure how you'd go from picture in forms to base64 encoded, not sure if the base64 data is stored in the uploaded file information in a way to extract it via flow. I use this method to send an email to a list of users with an image embedded in the body of the email. Works great, but it's not a dynamic image, it's something I pulled off the web and ran through a third party converter
