Flow incorrectly triggered

Hi,

Recently I build a flow with an automated trigger which needs to send a summary of the posted teams chat via mail.
I used the ‘Teams - When a new message is added to a chat or channel’ trigger, which works properly when a message is posted. The problem is that it also gets triggered when a user is added or removed from the team. When it gets triggered when the team changes the mail stays completely blank because there is no message body.
I can create a validation, but it results in a lot of unwanted triggers of the flow which then get the status failed. So that’s not really a solution.

Does anybody has any idea how to solve this?
Thank you in advance

You can identify those messages based on their messageType, those should be systemEventMessage messages.

Use the below as a Trigger condition in the settings of the When a new channel message is added action settings to ignore them:

@not(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/messageType'], 'systemEventMessage'))
