Do we support posting an urgent message in Teams?

Posted on by Angie-MSFT Microsoft Employee
I want to create an automation that posts an urgent message in a Teams chat or channel when an email arrives. When creating my flow, it does not give me the option to do so. I am using the 'post to a chat or channel in Teams' operation, but there is no option to set the message to urgent.

    Hi there!
     
    Correct.  The standard actions in Power Automate do not support message priorities.  BUT you can do this with Microsoft Graph.
     
    For a chat use this URI format:
     
     
    For a channel use this URI format:
     
     
    Your body can look something like this, modify as needed:
     
    {
      "importance": "urgent",
      "body": {
        "contentType": "html",
        "content": "<b>URGENT:</b> An email matching your rule just arrived. Please review immediately."
      }
    }
