Flowbot Cannot post into Moderated Teams Channel

(0) Share

Posted on by Rift

Hi Guys

I have a flow posting an approval into teams as an (non interactive) adaptive card using flowbot. This works absolutely fine in any channel until I choose our Org-Wide Channel with Moderation Enabled.

Even though I have "Allow bots to submit channel messages" the message never appears in the channel.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi @Rift,

Does your channel Org-Wide Channel have any guests (outside your organization)?

If it does, it may be caused that starting approval from users outside the organization is not supported in Microsoft Flow currently.

There is a similar idea you can vote it, I hope it can help you.

Hi There

I'm afraid we have no guests, everyone is either a member or an owner.

Here is how the Moderation is set up

I solved the problem, the Message I was posting had speech marks in it which was breaking the adaptive card code.

Swapping them out fixed it.

This thread is a bit old now, but is still relevant to an issue I'm working with right now.

Regarding the solution @Rift ; I don't want to assume, so could you verify that when you state "speech marks" you are referring to quotation marks? (e.g. " ") And if so, where in the .JSON were these quotation marks breaking the adaptive code?

Thank you
