(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

i would like to create a simple automation when this happen

 

- Create a task in planner and assign the task to "john" with due date : 1/1/2022.  After this, notify John about this new task via MS Teams 

 

i'm using the action "post message in a chat or channel".

Post as : User

What should i choose for "post in". i do not use channel or group message. i simply want to notify to john only .

Should i use "custom value" in this case?  If custom value, what is the dynamic content/value in need to choose ?

 

Thanks.

    Use Create a chat first, I did something similar a few weeks back:

     

    Select John in members to add, I don't think the title is necessary.

     

    Then Post message in a chat or channel refrencing the conversation id from Create a chat

    Here's the snip of the conversation coming from my account and sent to my colleague
