Hello everyone,
I am facing some trouble when using the "Post message in chat or channel" function. My aim is to send a message as User to another user in a 1:1 chat that may already exist or not, while cycling through an Excel list with multiple row where I have for each row the message recipient and the message itself.
So far it works perfectly using the parameters:
- Post as Flow Bot
- Post in Chat with Flow Bot
- Recipient --> chosen as dynamic content
From what I see, there is no actual option to do:
- Post as User
- Recipient
I tried to start every cycle with a "Create a chat" function following the suggestions in this post: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Teams-Create-a-chat-Bad-Request-400-error/td-p/1011404
but it doesn't seem to work at all for me.
I tried by passing to "Create a chat" the email of the recipient, or even the user ID using before the "Search for users" function, but when I run the flow I always get a generic error.
I even tried to test this by creating a chat with 2 other users instead of a single one, and using this chat as a fixed recipient of the message during the cycle. In this case the chat is created, but nothing seems to be posted in it, and the flow get stuck at the first step of the loop without moving forward.
Since it works with the Flow bot I would expect the cycle to be working fine. What am I missing here?
Looking forward to your input! 🙂
