You can refer to this blog post for filtering arrays: Power Automate Filter Array [with 17 examples]. The first examples show single filter techniques and toward the bottom ts shows how to combine filters so you can have multiple conditions.

This is one of the examples with multiple filters: @and(equals(item().Department, 'IT'),equals(item().Age, '50'))

Solution — Filter Array + Select + Apply to Each (Convert HTML to Text)

Step 1 — Filter Array

Input (From):

@{body('Get_messages')?['value']}

Filter condition:

@{and( equals(item()?['messageType'], 'message'), contains(toLower(item()?['body']?['content']), 'feed status'), greaterOrEquals(item()?['createdDateTime'], addHours(utcNow(), -3)) )}

Step 2 — Select

From:

@{body('Filter_array')}

Map:

{ "Message": "@{item()?['body']?['content']}" }

Step 3 — Apply to Each

Input: output of Select action

Inside the loop, add Convert HTML to Text action

Input:

@{items('Apply_to_each')?['Message']}

Step 4 — Post Message to Teams

Use the output of Convert HTML to Text as the message body to post to your target Teams group in plain text format.

Hi,

You can achieve this by using Filter Array in Advanced Mode with an and() condition.

Currently your flow is filtering only based on the message creation time. To add the second condition (Feed Status text), you need to combine both conditions together.
Use the below expression in Filter Array → Edit in advanced mode:
@and(
   greaterOrEquals(
      item()?['createdDateTime'],
      addHours(utcNow(),-3)
   ),
   contains(
      toLower(item()?['body']?['content']),
      'feed status'
   )
)
What this does:

Checks messages created within the last 3 hours

Checks whether the message contains the text “Feed Status”

For the formatting issue:
Teams messages are stored in HTML format, so when posting them to another channel the text may not look correct.
To fix this, add an HTML to Text action inside the “Apply to each” before posting the message.
Flow structure would look like this:
Recurrence
↓
Get messages in a chat or channel
↓
Filter Array
↓
Apply to each
↓
HTML to Text
↓
Post message in another Teams channel
In the “Post message” action, use the output from HTML to Text.
This should solve both:

Multiple filter conditions

Proper readable message formatting

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
