986Hi everyone,
I have a scheduled flow that gets triggered every Monday morning and a teams message is sent in the Teams group notifying users about filling the work mode details (WFH/WFO) for the week. So they need to navigate to the respective teams channel -> Go to the files tab -> Select the file (Excel file) and fill in the details, this is fine but I have received a feedback that some users usually don't know about the teams channel and they need to shown where to look for and another thing is the number of clicks (currently its 3).
This is the message that is generated using 'Send message to Teams or channel action' in Power Automate.
Currently the user needs to navigate to the respective Teams channel -> Go in the files tab -> Select the file and then fill in details (this is 3/4 clicks)
(1st click)
Selecting the Teams channel: (2nd click)
(3rd and 4th click: Select the tab {Files tab} and selecting the file)
So I was thinking is there a way that we can reduce the number of clicks and in the Send message action itself provide a hyper link like option that user can click can open directly the location where the file is created (in Teams itself as I don't want user to be given the SharePoint site URL to avoid unnecessary manipulation (like deletion of file)).
I have done that (in Power Automate new Design mode) copied the Channel link by:
And then in Power Automate used the same link and pasted it using the link option
It sends a message in the Group and on clicking the link it opens the Teams channel like:
(The message content is different as I was testing)
So my question can we specify/open the tab (Files) (right now it opens the specific channel) where the file is present (reduces the clicks to 2) or open the file directly (the best option) which can reduce the number of clicks to one. As the flow is triggered only on Monday morning so there won't be any more triggers apart from next week (that's Monday).
If you have any suggestions please do share them.

Sidhant.
