Regarding retrieve all messages in a Viva group using Get messages in a group (V3)

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12
I want to use the following connectors of Viva Engage in Power Automate to retrieve all past messages from a specific Viva group, but I am unable to retrieve all of them.
I remember that in V1 ,V2 connectors, there was a limit of 20 messages that could be retrieved.
In V3, I was able to retrieve more than 20 messages, and although I haven't tested the upper limit, I was able to retrieve up to 2000 messages.
The problem is that it seems not all Viva messages can be retrieved.
There are no specific errors occurring. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to the messages that cannot be retrieved.
For example, it is not the case that messages with long text or messages with attachments are consistently not retrievable.
Are there others who are using the V3 connector and facing similar issues? Is the V3 connector still insufficient in this regard?
The options are as follows:

■options/parameters
1)Older than
→ I have tried several times and set it based on the posting date and time of the most recent message.
I have confirmed that the most recent messages are being retrieved. It seems difficult to confirm the oldest messages, and there may be cases where they cannot be retrieved.
The biggest issue is that some messages in the middle cannot be extracted.

2)Thread type of messages: None specified
→ I understand that if not specified, all should be retrieved.

3)Limit: None specified

Other points to note → Regarding the messages retrieved from Viva, I am trying to register them in a SharePoint list, but there are no errors occurring in that process. Purely by using Get messages in a group (V3) to retrieve the messages without any errors, when I check the SharePoint list, there are some messages that have not been retrieved

    Hi, just want to reply to say that I feel you and I'm having the same problem. 
    And then I looked at the documentation for that action "Get messages in a group (V3)" 🤦‍♀️
     
    and if I interpret it right, it's a known issue that the action does not guarantee to return all messages.
