Post message in a chat - sender not member of chat

Posted on by nielslevring

Hi all,

I have created a PA flow that is triggered by Power Apps. The flow use a flow bot to post some input from Power Apps to a Teams chat.

However, the problem is that the input from Power Apps is not always entered from a member of the Teams chat.

Is it possible to create a solution, where the input from Power Apps is posted to my Teams chat, even in the case where the user in PowerApps is not member of the Teams chat?

FYI: I have already tried to setup Power Automate bot to the Teams chat without success.

Thanks in advance.

- Niels.

@nielslevring you can create a solution and move your flow to that solution, then within that solution create another flow which will be a child flow and actually post message to teams. Then call this new flow from your original powerapp flow. Change the child flow connection settings to use the connection which is the owner of the flow. So that posting message to teams will be done using account of owner of the flow instead of user who triggered the flow from PowerApp

Hi @annajhaveri

I am not sure I understand what you mean.

My flow is like this:

And it is triggered by a button in Power Apps.

1. Go to Solutions in Power Automate, create a new solution.

2. Then move your existing flow to that new solution or create a new PowerApp flow within that solution.

3. Then create instant flow within the same solution, with manual trigger, add post a message on teams in this new flow.

4. Then in your PowerApp flow add Run a child flow action and call the new flow from this flow.

5. Change the connection settings of the new flow to use the owner connection instead of run only connection
