I am composing a message in one team channel.
I want to distribute this message to many other teams and not post as myself, post as a service account or a bot.

My message contains images and formatted text.
But i can not figure out how to do this and keep the images.

The images i have added to the message is copy/pasted in to the message. A formatted message with text, then an image and then some more text.

The message is posted to the new team using power automate.

But the image is not loading in the receiving team.

I want to create a flow where i pick up a message i created in my own team.

Then distribute this message to multiple teams posting as something else (not myself).

But i can not find a way to copy the full message and keep images in the receiving teams. Then the message is just a blank box and nothing is showing up.

Anyone able to help?

As far as my understanding goes, without having URLs for the images, it becomes challenging to directly extract and repost them in another team. Unfortunately, Power Automate currently doesn't support extracting and redistributing images embedded in Teams messages without first hosting them somewhere accessible.

You can try uploading the messages in SharePoint/OneDrive and then incorporate the URL that way will be able to achieve this

@Gopala_Krishna what do you mena by uploading the messages in sharepoint/onedrive?
Can i store a message as a file and post the file as a message and taht will help keeping the image?

Or do you mean storing the image in sharepoint/onedrive?

That could work but that would make the creation of a message very annoying and hard for ppl.

What i want to create is a solution to compose your message.

Then send it out to multiple teams and it keeps looking good.

I have a solution today that do this, it works great except that it does not support images.

I could create some way to upload your image and put a {tag} in the message where that image should be placed. But again that becomes a bit to advanced for my users. I would rather have them able to create a normal message that i then take and just copy out to other teams.

There is a built in function in teams for this, but then it is the creator of the message that post to other teams. And that does not work.
