I have completed a Flow for using the "Post a message to Teams for a selected row" template. Unfortunately after completing all fields, I get an error for the Teams Post Message section that "Type is required". There is no field for type. Any recommendations?

Re: Type is Required ERROR - Post a message to Teams for a selected row

Can you please peek the code and see if there's anything related to Type? Sometime it happens if you have added a filed Type which is a required and deleted the field because it's not needed. If you see Type in the code, you can try creating a new flow and execute it. If it doesn't work, providing the execution output from previous runs helps to figure out the problem.

Re: Type is Required ERROR - Post a message to Teams for a selected row

Thank you @Anonymous for your response. I peeked the code and listed it below. There is only one "type" reference and I highlighted in red.

{ "inputs": { "host": { "connection": { "name": "@json(decodeBase64(triggerOutputs().headers['X-MS-APIM-Tokens']))['$connections']['shared_teams']['connectionId']" }, "api": { "runtimeUrl": "https://msmanaged-na.azure-apim.net/apim/teams" } }, "method": "post", "body": { "rootMessage": { "body": {} } }, "path": "/beta/groups/@{encodeURIComponent('0380892c-a707-4c31-a35f-b77261156c77')}/channels/@{encodeURIComponent('19:71ce6d0ca6974af1bd99dcd62c357b85@thread.skype')}/chatThreads", "authentication": { "type": "Raw", "value": "@json(decodeBase64(triggerOutputs().headers['X-MS-APIM-Tokens']))['$ConnectionKey']" } }, "metadata": { "flowSystemMetadata": { "swaggerOperationId": "PostMessageToChannel" } } }
When I created the Flow, I opened the user input option, cancelled it, etc just to explore all the functionality. Perhaps this caused the error? i have never run the Flow because of the error.

@Anonymous I tried creating another Flow using the same template but not clicking the User input options. Flow checker showed no errors until I clicked Save, then I got the same 'Type is required' error.

Any recommendations?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have made a test on my side, it has the same issue with you.

I think it's because of the update of MS Teams connector.

The template still use the old action.

I suggest you delete the action 'Post message', and add the 'Post a message' by yourself.
