Microsoft Teams PostChannelNotification

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by kves 27

I am attempting to use the Microsoft Teams connector directly in PowerApps rather than using a Power Automate as there is a requirements to keep flow runs to a minimum in the environment.

 

I can post a message to a channel using the PostMessageToChannelV3 but I can't find a way to mention the channel so that everyone is informed that there is a new message. I attempted to use Shane Young's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KONkjjSYvMI to link a single user and use the email address for the channel instead but am getting the below error:

Code getting this error is as follows:
MicrosoftTeams.PostMessageToChannelV3(groupID,ChannelID,{content:"<p>Test<at>Team Email Address</at>", contentType: "html"})

 

I then tried to use PostChannelNotification but documentation says this has been deprecated.

 

Can anyone help to give me a way to post a message in a channel and tag everyone in the group without using Power Automate?

    I had a similar issue and managed to get around it with these steps:

     

    • Create a text label and enter the following to obtain the UserProfileID that you wish to mention in the Teams channel Post:

    Office365Users.UserProfileV2("YourEmailAddressHere").id

     

    • Then the formula required for the On Select property of the button is as follows:

    MicrosoftTeams.PostMessageToChannelV3(
    //EnterTeamGroupID
    "GroupIDHere",
    //EnterTeamChannelID
    "TeamChannelIDHere",
    {
    content:
    MicrosoftTeams.AtMentionUser("EnterGeneratedLabelIDHere").atMention & "Enter content of message",

    contentType:"Html",
    isImportant: true // Add this line for creating an announcement

    },

    {subject: "Enter Subject Text Here"}
    );
