Posted on by ThiagoMesquita

Hi guys,

 

I'm building a flow which has the following structure:

It, will be triggered When Keyword it is mentioned in a chat

This Keyword will to popup an Adaptive Card in a IM within the the user that had used the keyword.

My issue is, I can't set it dynamically to get the user id which has used the trigger to add into the Adaptive Card recipient 

I've already tried to use:

<at>username@domain.com</at>

triggerbody()?['from']?['user']?['id']

 

but no luck

    You can not directly get it from the response. Try in this way - 

    1. Add next action of Teams "Get message details" and pass MessageID (received in the first response) and other channel details.

    2. Add next action of Office365 "Search for users (V2)" and pass From User Display Name received in the above step.

    3. Now you can get email id of the person from the 2nd step mention above.

     

    So your flow should look like -

    Hi @ThiagoMesquita ,

    as @shreenet mentioned you cannot get it directly from the trigger.

    But you can make it still a little bit easier. Get the message details and then you can use the From User User ID to send the adaptive card. At least that worked for me.
