Hi guys,

I have attached a pic of a very simple flow.

Goal is to get message details when a new chat message is added. Now, I don't want this to get triggered every time I send a message in teams in any group chat. I want this flow to get triggered only when a new chat message has come in that particular group chat.

Scenario:

Let's say I have these group chats:
Test1

Test2

Test3

I want this flow to only trigger for group chat, Test1.

Now, I send a message in Test1, this flow will get triggered.

Next, I send a message in Test2, this flow should not get triggered.

Similarly, in Test3 also it should not trigger.

I was trying to see under this trigger's settings if I can trigger that group chat only but I am not sure how to do it.

Please do let me know what can be done here. Thank you!

@NathanAlvares24

you can use trigger condition on the channel or chat id in trigger under settings

@equals(first(triggerOutputs()?['body/value'])?['conversationid'],'GiveIDHere')

to get conversation id of channel or chat..run the flow and send message in channel you need ..and you would find it

Hope this helps

cheers

Hi @NathanAlvares24 ,

As per the documentation, this trigger has no parameters, so you can't use those: Microsoft Teams - Connectors | Microsoft Learn

However, it does have the option to set trigger conditions. If you leverage that, you can get it to trigger only for the selected conversationID:

@equals(first(triggerOutputs()?['body/value'])['conversationID'],'abcd')

Thank you to both of you'll, @BCBuizer and @Anil_g ! This trigger expression worked like a charm.
