want to auto reply to a teams message if it contains a certain word

Posted on by Eric_John 6

Hello All, I would like to reply automatically to a teams message in a specific channel if it contains the word "error" but I cannot for the life of me figured out how. This is my first day with Power Automate. So far I was able to have users receive an email when they respond to a survey, so I am on the right track lol.

    Teams has a trigger that runs when "a specific keyword is mentioned". 

     

    You can set "error" as the keyword and point it to that channel. 

     

    You'll just need to be careful you dont get caught in a loop as any channel message with "error" in it (from the bot or a user) will trigger it. If this "error" text is coming from something you made, it may be better the use a less generic keyword and instead use something like "ComputerError" or "FileError".
