I am trying to create a flow that posts a message to a teams channel with an alert, but I would like to mention the team in the alert so it is not just silently sitting in the channel hoping some one notices it. Any options? So far the closet thing I get to work is using flow to pull all the team member's emails and then basically alerting the team all at once by having everyone's name listed. It would be nice to just use the team tag similar to when you are working in teams to avoid 20 names being listed.
I went back to the second one listed an tinkered some more. A Million Ways of @Mention in Microsoft Teams using a Power Automate Flow. | by Sebastian Zolg 🤝 | Medium
I changed the code a little bit to this and it worked for my colleague to get the alert.
{
"subject": "This is very urgent",
"importance": "urgent",
"body": {
"content": "Graph Messages Endpoint <br> This works for any scenario: <br><at id=\"0\">(TeamName)</at>",
"contentType": "html"
},
"mentions": [
{
"id": 0,
"mentionText": "(TeamName)",
"mentioned": {
"conversation": {
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.teamworkConversationIdentity",
"id": "@{variables('teamsId')}",
"displayName": "(TeamName)",
"conversationIdentityType": "team"
}
}
}
]
}
Thanks, I have actually seen and tried all three of those with no luck. On the first two I cannot figure out what the tag id is because I don’t have permissions to do so in graphs. On the third on it posted to the channel but didn’t actually send out an extra notification of any kind. On the message it looks like a mention but it really is in looks only since there isn’t a notification.
