Post reply to a Teams channel when a sharepoint list item is updated

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 76
Hi all,
 
I am posting a message to a Teams chat Channel when a Sharepoint item is created.
 
I would like to post a reply to that message when the sharepoint item is modified but I can't seem to figure out how to reference the original messgeID in my reply?
 
Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Regards,
Syed

    @syed_sme please follow below steps:

     

    Add column in SharePoint list, MessageID which will be used to store message ID of the teams message

    Flow is as follows:

     

    In the condition I am checking the value of MessageID from list column

    My Yes block, I update the item with the message id from post a message as this a new item and I store the message id so it can be used to reply to the original message when item is modified.

    My No block, I pass the message ID from the item as it is existing item and it is being modified.

    Output

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks @jinivthakkar,

     

    I managed to replicate the flow as you instructed above and it works to a point.

     

    The thread is created and in the channel as expected but the Update Item action is triggering the reply immediately afterwards. So, I moved the Update outside of the Condition branch but this made not difference.

     

    I'm also seeing the following warning message....

    Any ideas how to get round this?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Try 2 separate flows. I have experienced issues with When an item is created or modified trigger.

    1. When an item is created
    2. When an item or a file is modified

    @ChrisMendoza I too thought so but I tried of doing it in one flow.

     

    @syed_sme As Chris has already tried this why don't you create two flows and lets close the topic here.

     

    The solution I gave I didn't realize it would go in Infinite loop.
