Trying to get a plain text output for the body of Teams messages in my Flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Trying to output my Teams messages to an endpoint. I choose the Message Body which says it's text only, but ends up coming along with the markup anyway. It says it was text, so I didn't think I would have to parse it.  Works otherwise.

Here's my response output:

{
"response": {
"outputSpeech": {
"text": "Here's what's going on in Teams: {\"Message\":\"<div><div>Testing a Flow</div>\\n</div>\"}
"type": "PlainText"
}
},
"version": "1.0",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

    Hey @Anonymous ,

     

    Have you tried to use the html to text action in Flow?  You may have already tried, but i know i have used it in the past in similiar scenarios and it saved my bacon.  If this does end up working, please be sure to mark as the answer.

    This did end up working, but I could not get the compose output available outside of this action so I had to create a variable to put it in. Thanks @dbro and @abm !FlowSnip3.png
