Workaround for Microsoft Teams Updates App?

Report

Posted on by HM-22040227-0

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to automate a workflow where, whenever someone submits an update for me via the Microsoft Teams Updates App, I want that submission to be logged into a SharePoint list.

I’ve tried a few approaches but keep hitting roadblocks:
The “Updates App (Microsoft 365)” connector is supposed to exist (docs: MS Docs), but it doesn’t show up in my Power Automate connector list (enterprise tenant). Is it still available in your environment?

I set Teams notification emails to “Immediate” in my settings, but I don’t receive any email when someone submits an update for me. → No email = no trigger.
I don’t have access to Dataverse due to licensing restrictions, so I can’t pull updates from backend tables.

Hi @HM-22040227-0

It sounds like you're facing a few challenges with automating your workflow using Power Automate and the Microsoft Teams Updates App. Let's address each of your concerns step-by-step:

1. Updates App Connector in Power Automate

The "Updates App (Microsoft 365)" connector should indeed be available in Power Automate. However, if it's not showing up in your connector list, there could be a few reasons for this:

Connector Availability: The connector might not be available in your region or tenant due to specific restrictions or rollout schedules.

Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access and use this connector.

To verify if the connector is available, I can perform a quick search to check its current status and availability. Let me do that for you.

2. Teams Notification Emails

If you're not receiving email notifications when someone submits an update, there might be an issue with the notification settings or the way the Updates App is configured. Here are a few things to check:

Notification Settings: Double-check your notification settings in Teams to ensure they are correctly configured.

App Configuration: Ensure that the Updates App is properly configured to send notifications.

3. Dataverse Licensing Restrictions

Since you don't have access to Dataverse, we'll need to find an alternative way to pull updates. One approach is to use Power Automate to directly interact with the Teams Updates App and log the submissions into a SharePoint list.

Next Steps

Search for the Connector: I'll search for the availability of the "Updates App (Microsoft 365)" connector.

Alterative Workflow: If the connector is not available, we can explore alternative methods to achieve your goal.

If the response is helpful to you, a like or mark as the correct solution. thank you so much!

Hi there @HM-22040227-0!

Is your tenant in any of this locations?

- US Government (GCC)
- US Government (GCC High)
- China Cloud operated by 21Vianet
- US Department of Defense (DoD)

If so, you will be unable to see this connector, even though is a Standard connector approved for Power Automate and out of preview.

If you're not, I would encourage you to open a Microsoft Support ticket on your tenant directly, since you must be able to see this connector without further restrictons or liscencing, since it is standard.

I can confirm you that I see the connector in a crm4 instance (Europe).

It is under the All section connectors list, almost the last one, when you look for the keywork "Updates":

And, I have to disagree with @Jon Unzueta here:

The connector is publicly available.

Even if you don't have permissions to use it, you should be able to see it.

This connector doesn't use Dataverse Liscencing on its triggers, uses Microsoft 365 Liscencing.

Anyway, if I can further help you don't hesitate reaching out!
