How can I post every new message from a Slack channel to Microsoft Teams using Power Automate?

Hello Everyone.

 

This may sound a strange request.

 

I have a Slack channel that gets new messages every hour.  Each hour, when a new message is posted on Slack, how can that same message also be posted to Microsoft Teams?

 

Many thanks.

    @jamesh1 Thank you for this.  Yes, it does seem additional development work is needed to make this happen with Slack and Power Automate, sadly.  Maybe MS will address this, but probably not.

    Found this by Zapier: How to communicate across Slack and Teams | Zapier Apparently they see the need and have solved for it. Not sure the PowerAutomate folks will want to see this. Hoping we can find someone in the community who can add a PowerAutomate option here. Meanwhile I will keep looking for my next step to create the "Slack App" and post here.

    I have the same question. The Slack Connector in PowerAutomate has only one trigger: File Created. This is not what we need to detect a new Slack message and cross post to Teams. My search has taken me down the path of creating a "Slack App" that is granted permissions on an available scope of events that includes detecting a new message in a channel, then using that event to trigger (maybe) a webhook enabled action that pulls the message payload and sender and pushes them to a Teams channel. Not sure though as I'm not a developer. The lack of answers here leads me to believe the work is being done by developers who are familiar with this type of development or the demand simply isn't that prevalent, but I see lots of talk about posting Teams messages to Slack, so there should be demand for the reverse as in my company where users are siloed by Slack and Teams yet need to collaborate.

    Have you thought about doing it the other way around?  Automate tasks with Workflow Builder | Slack

    Thank you for replying @lbendlin

     

    What are my options? Could PAD do it via screen recording?

    Looks like the only available trigger is when a file is created
