Form Responses posting in unique Microsoft Teams channels

Posted on by lisa2180

I have been setting up some different flows for the company when we sign contracts with new customers.

I have one flow that creates a channel based on the customer's name when we get a signed contract and post some needed information.

A little later in our process we gather a lot of information on a customer and I have this built into a form. What I am having a hard time with is being able to post that response into the channel that was created for that customer because when building the flow I have no idea what that channel name and/or ID will be. Is there any way to pull the information off of the form?

I put a field on the form to enter the Team Channel name exactly as it appears in Microsoft Teams- but when I put that as the custom name in the channel field in the flow- it fails.

Any suggestions?

Hi @lisa2180 ,
Basically when you use the Custom Value for the channel it expects the ID of the channel instead name. So you need to feed in the channel id.
Here is the option to get the channel id from its name :
1) Add a action called "List Channels" and give your "Team Name"
2) Add a foreach loop and check the Channel Name = "Your Channel Name"
3) Then grab the ID of the channel and provide it to your Post a message action.
Here is the test I have performed and could send the message to channel:

Hi Purna,
I am looking for a similar solution but I am unable to find it.

Required Solution - Use a form to get applicant information along with the CV and the push it to MS Teams and create a channel based on Position Type .

Once the applicant chooses a position , lets say Science teacher for eg , all his form details should go to a channel which is automatically created named Science Teacher . Anyone else who applies as well for the same position should have thier application and CV go into the same channel.

I hope its clear , I have tried Plumsail , Jot form , Form Stack but cant seem to find any solution

Thanks
