Outgoing Webhooks for Teams

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

Does anyone here have experience in outgoing webhooks with teams? I would like to make an HTTP call to a flow every time there is a message in a particular channel or team. I've found some documentation online but it all seems to revolve around building a custom app or bot. Anyone know how to do this more simply?

Thanks

Sam

Hi @Anonymous
Could you not use the 'When a new channel message is added' trigger action from the teams connector to invoke your Flow?

@Jay-Encodian Hi,

In theory yes that would provide me with the data I need but in my case it is not good enough. The connector works by periodically checking the channel and is not run instantaneously for each message posted. I'm trying to build an integration which can sync messages across 2 platforms where the conversation will flow continuously. Therefore I'm trying to see if this is possible via webhooks as I think that is the only way to make this happen.

Thanks
Sam

Hey @Anonymous
Have you tried the 'HTTP Webhook' flow trigger? in conjunction with the following- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/add-outgoing-webhook

@Jay-Encodian Hey,

Yes I've seen that documentation but it seems to be reliant on creating a bot and then mentioning that bot to send the webhook.
I just want to send a webhook for any and every message in a specific channel or team.

Thanks

Hey @Anonymous
That;s not how I read it 🙂
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/add-outgoing-webhook
My interpretation was that the author is saying the outgoing webhook behaves like a BOT but negates the need to create a full BOT via the BOT framework.
It does state that users need to to use @mention to invoke the webhook... which as you've pointed out is an issue as you need to get all messages in the channel.
Ref using the Teams Trigger; If the underlying issue the frequency of the trigger, for example them minimum invocation is 1 minute for FP2... You could try logic apps as you can configure the frequency to 1 second... I just tested and it works well

@Jay-Encodian Works great but I can see this is going to be a lot of work to completely integrate 2 messaging platforms. If I had the time then I would love the challenge but I think I'm going to look for some ready made solutions.
