Post message to channel V3 confirmation

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I'm using PowerApps to post a message to a Teams Channel that is working fine most of the time.

Is there a way to confirm when a message is posted?

I read the Microsoft teams document, and supposedly there is a result of message id when the message is posted.

If this is so, how do I access this?

If not how can I confirm the post is successful?

Thanks

I believe you can do this by calling the Teams connector and storing the result inside of a SET variable.

Set(varPostMessage,PostMessageToChannelV3(group_id, channel_id, content));

After that you could test whether there was a message posted by checking if the 'id' property ISBLANK.

If(IsBlank(varPostMessage.id), true_condition, false_condition);

@mdevaney Thankyou. That worked great.
Just before I accept as solution, if you don't mind, I have a similar question.
I tried doing the same thing with a "Set(varSharePointListMsg,(collect(SharePointList,Collection))", but the result is data type = table and no matter which sub unit I used with it ( eg varSharePointListMsg.ID) they were all data type = table.
How do I go about confirming this?

In that case you’ll want to use ISEMPTY to test the table rather than ISBLANK
