Teams chat to OneNote

Posted on by CF-06061751-0

I want to build a workflow to save Teams chat messages to a shared OneNote notebook. I would like to be able to select an informative message, select save to onenote, and then have the dialog box that opens give the user the option of which section in the notebook to save the message. Further, I would like the user to be able to name the new page within that same dialog box. Finally, I want the original Teams message to have some kind of indication that it has been saved to OneNote. Can anyone help me build this flow?

Hi @CF-06061751-0

I think its possible - but did not understand the last point - what kind of indication you require to ensure message has been added to onenote ?

Thanks & Regards,

For the last part, there is a way to have a card post to the chat indicating that the message was saved to OneNote. BUT, it doesn't say which message was saved. I don't want duplicated messages in OneNote, so I just want that card to attach to the actual message that began the flow. Currently, when I do that, it just sends the card without connecting it to the message.

The best way to do this is to have different flows do each job. Do not put it all in a big flow. More than 2 to 3 actions can make a flow run slow and not work well sometimes. I would use one of the connectors that when a message in teams is posted copy to onenote. You can set a set message of words it will look for to copy over that you set. Then it lets you choose what notebook etc to put it in. Its not too hard to set this up really. Then create a different flow to set the notification for when a new item has been posted in the onenote it sends an email of some sorts. I would ask Chatgpt it will get this step by step for you. Yes even the free version can make this for you. Don't use co-pilot it always gives you the same solution that doesn't work if its wrong.

Hi @CF-06061751-0

So final message which need to be sent should be a reply to original message right ? - if yes, currently no actions support replying to messages in one to one chat. , only supported for channels as of now.

Thanks & Regards,
