Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello guys,

This might be a lengthy post but I'm trying explain the situation as well as possible so some could give me a helping hand...

So, I've created a custom connector in Power Apps where I'm trying to fetch all replies to a specific channel message in Teams. The request URL looks like this and I'm passing the 3 parameters to the request from Power Apps.

Everything works very well when testing the connector in the "Custom connectors" and I'm happy with the response body that the connector gives me. Here is the response I'm getting for 3 channel replies:

Now, Im trying to collect this response in Power Apps and display it in a gallery using a piece of code like this which also triggers the connector:

ClearCollect(
 colChannelMessageReplies,
 GraphAPI.GetChannelReplies(varGroupID, varChannelID, 1656751916142).value
);

The collection is created pretty neatly as you can see:

I am able to access the body of the messages with a simple code in a gallery such as ThisItem.body.content which displays the message body.

The problem I'm having is displaying information of the user who sent the message. I thought I am able to access this information by typing ThisItem.from.user.displayName in the gallery. With this action I'm getting an error of "Invalid use of '.'" after I type the "displayName".

I might know why this action doesn't give me the user information. When clicking the "from" -column in the Collection, it displays no information for any of the collection items:
