Teams Workflows webhooks: Is MessageCard payload support live?

Context

Microsoft’s official Dev Blog on Retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams stated (update posted Oct 28, 2025) that by December 2025 Workflows webhooks would support posting MessageCard‑formatted payloads (so we wouldn’t need to reformat to Adaptive Cards). It also mentioned posting to shared or private channels. Blog URL: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/retirement-of-office-365-connectors-within-microsoft-teams/

Current issue (Jan 2026)

Despite the above, sending a legacy MessageCard JSON to a Teams Channel/Chat still doesn't seem available in Power Automate. A recent Microsoft Q&A thread also suggests there is no official confirmation that MessageCard support is live yet. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5685899/status-of-legacy-messagecard-support-in-workflows

Questions

1. Is MessageCard payload support for Teams Workflows webhooks actually deployed? If yes, how can we create a workflow to utilize this feature?

2. If it’s not live yet, can we get an updated ETA or confirmation that the “by December 2025” commitment was rescheduled?

I've just created a new Workflow to test if a MessageCard formated webhook would alert to a channel.

Basic steps via MS Teams:

1. From the channel open ( ... > Workflows)
2. In Template search for "webhooks" and select "Send webhook to a channel"

3. Verify and Team and Channel and save workflow
4. After saving, this message shows up
Note: it states adaptive and message card payload support)

5. Copy webhook URL
6. Testing
a) MessageCard payload to the webhook (SUCCESS)
b) AdaptiveCard payload to the webhook (SUCCESS)

Optional: rename the workflow so its easy to identify in Teams or PowerAutomate (My Flows)

This is the workflow that is created and viewed PowerAutomate

And the Post card action parameters are like this.

Hope this helps

I followed the steps above but when I send message card format it fails and I get the following error: (Any ideas?) Thanks!

Still have gotten no reply on this. Not understanding why this isn't working for me. Once note above mentions ""Send webhook to a channel". I actually don't even have that option. Mine is called "Send webhook alerts to a channel". Is that the same one am I missing an option? I can't be the only one having these issues?

I would recommend sending a test "hello world" message card formatted payload. I have validated this JSON body works to the new webhook, however I created mine directly from make.powerautomate.com as we are using a service account for all of ours to avoid things like orphaning when people leave or limiting the number of times logging in is required so the dang flow doesn't break from token expiration/password resets etc. It's the worst when you have production messaging in place and a connection loses access and you have critical alerts not working.

My JSON payload that works -

{

  "@type": "MessageCard",

  "@context": "http://schema.org/extensions",

  "themeColor": "0076D7",

  "summary": "Hello World Test Card",

  "sections": [

    {

      "activityTitle": "Hello World!",

      "activitySubtitle": "This is a test message card",

      "activityText": "If you can see this, your Power Automate webhook is working correctly.",

      "facts": [

        { "name": "Status", "value": "Success" },

        { "name": "Source", "value": "Test" }

      ]

    }

  ]

}

If this hello world works, then it might be something in the payload of your MessageCard or your missing the type "MessageCard" in the body which will make it fail as it won't be able to tell the type of payload.
