I have an otherwise working flow that sends a Teams message to a Group Chat when an email from a specified sender and contains specified words in the subject is received. The output/chat message is one that I created - intent is just an alert - don't want entire body of message to be sent to Teams. I DO want the subject line of the email however to appear in the Teams Chat. This is what I am using

 "body/messageBody": "<p class=\"editor-paragraph\">Check email - Proactive notification email received from support. Subject:  @{triggerOutputs()?['body/subject']}</p>"

What outputs in chat though is Check email - Proactive notification email received from support. Subject:

Actual subject is not pulled in. What should I be including in order to obtain the subject from the email to appear in the chat? This subject is variable which is why I want the actual subject from the email.

Try initializing a variable, and then set that variable to the triggerOutputs()?['body/subject']"
(You might be able to do in a single action, but have to consider how to handle a blank incoming subject.)

Once you have the value captured, then put that into your body/messageBody.

Hi

This is because you are using this as a string look at this

"body/messageBody": "<p class=\"editor-paragraph\">Check email - Proactive notification email received from support. Subject: @{triggerOutputs()?['body/subject']}</p>"

you have

"<p class=\"editor-paragraph\">Check email - Proactive notification email received from support. Subject: @{triggerOutputs()?['body/subject']}</p>"

The issue is the above have double quotes around the whole thing

You need to show us the Actual Action with the stuff typed in, just typing the string tells me you have it wrong, but I need to see the visual activation of the variables, which I cannot see in this string.

The double quotes are killing it. but seeing what you have is better

@FLMike This is the Action

This is the Flow. The filtered email trigger is working as expected as well as the action except for that last piece where I am using the out of the box "body/subject" output trigger in an attempt to extract and output the actual subject line from the inbound email that triggers the flow.
