PowerApps/Flow Yammer Connector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 90

I am having a problem with the yammer connector in both PowerApps and Flow. 

 

If you look at JSON of the connector you would see something like this.

 

{
"id": #######,
"sender_id": #######,
"replied_to_id": #######,
"created_at": "Some_Date",
"network_id": #######,
"message_type": "update",
"sender_type": "user",
"url": "SOME_URL",
"web_url": "SOME_URL",
"group_id": #######,
"body": {
"parsed": "Message_Post",
"plain": "Message_Post",
"rich": "Message_post"
},
"thread_id": #######,
"client_type": "cleint_type",
"client_url": "Some_Url",
"system_message": false,
"direct_message": false,
"chat_client_sequence": null,
"language": "en",
"notified_user_ids": [],
"privacy": "private",
"attachments": [],
"liked_by": {
 "count": 1,
 "names": [
   "full_name": "Jonathan West",
   "permalink": "jonathanwest",
   "user_id": #############,
   "network_id": ########
]
},
"content_excerpt": "Some_Message",
"group_created_id": #######,
"topics": []
}

 

The problem is both PowerApps and Flow don't recognize these fields.

 

"full_name": "Jonathan West",
"permalink": "jonathanwest",
"user_id": #############,
"network_id": ########

 

 In PowerApps when you type 

First(First(Yammer.GetMessagesInGroup(#######).messages).liked_by.names) 

*First Functions are only there to pull the first record for this example 

The only option you get is a .Value

If you look at the .Value it is empty, I believe it is because that property is not there.

 

I have tried looking it at tables, in flow, in galleries, filtering to one message...... but no luck.

Has anyone else had this issue?

    I am also noticing that the yammer connector only return 20 results. Is there a way to get around this?

    Hi @JonathanWest,

     

    I have made a test, and the issue is confirmed on my side.

     

    When I saved the retrieved messages into a Collection within my app using following formula:

    ClearCollect(YammerMessageCollection,Yammer.GetMessagesInGroup(109xxx54))

    The Collection would be saved as below:3.JPG

     

    4.JPG

     

    But when I expand the names table within the liked_by column value, the result would return empty as below:5.JPG

     

     

    I would post this issue to my product team, if this issue is solved, I would reply here.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris
