Hi All!!

I am trying to create flow that will display the content of an email in Teams while pinging the members of the group chat.

I can do it if I ping only one user but I would like to ping all or several users of the chat group. I can get the token for the ping but I have trouble pinging all the members in the same message. As it is now, it will create a message for each member.

Your help woud be really appreciated.

Re: Ping members of a group chat

Thank you for the solution. I've modified the flow so that when an email is received in the shared mailbox, it will send a notification in a Teams group chat.
Also, the token step did not work at first. I've added a step that retrieves the principal username of the members using their emails. The principal username is used as the entry for the Teams token. It works, but the pings were not formatted.
So I've added a compose step, which includes a concat(Mentions, ', ') and then appended with a variable with that. This solution works perfectly fine, though the notification in Teams is not instant after receiving the mail. It takes a few minutes.
