Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how I can get a flow to automatically reply to new channel messages on team but so far have been unable to get any reply to work, and when it does work it KEEPS replying, any ideas on how to set my action?

    You maybe just need a small tweak in your flow. I think the reason it keeps replying is because the flow triggers every time the message changes or every time your own reply is posted.
    I believe the best fix is:
    Use the “When a new channel message is added (V3)” trigger
    Add a condition to check:
    • Message type = “message”
    • From = your bot/service account
      This stops the loop.
    Maybe also store the message ID in a variable or list to avoid replying twice.
