Posting Form entry to Teams

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by SL18

Hi,

My scenario is that I have a Form with multiple fields that updates a gallery and SP list upon submission. I want to be able to post that same entry to Teams if a checkbox is selected with the same submit button, all at once. I have 2 dropdowns sorted already to select where to post the message.

-How do I code the Submit button on my form entry to also include the multiple-text box (or single form entry) to Teams when/if a checkbox is submitted?

Current Submit Button coding: SubmitForm(Form1); NewForm(Form1)

Current Post-to-Teams coding (I have this working on a different button right now for testing...): MicrosoftTeams.PostMessageToChannel(Teams_Dropdown1.SelectedText.id,Teams_Dropdown2.SelectedText.id,{body:{content:DataCardValue4.Text,contentType:0}})

I would appreciate any pointers or help. Thanks much!

Hi @SL18 ,

Do you want to submit a record and send this record to teams (if the checkbox is selected) by clicking a button?

If so, firstly you just need to use an if statement to justify whether post to teams.

Secondly, you could use formname.Updates to represent all the data in the form.

Try this:
set the submit button's OnSelect:

If(Checkbox1.Value, MicrosoftTeams.PostMessageToChannel( Teams_Dropdown1.SelectedText.id,Teams_Dropdown2.SelectedText.id, {body: {content:Concat(Form1.Updates, "field1:"&field1&",field2:"&field2",field3:"&field3 ), contentType:0 } }; SubmitForm(Form1), SubmitForm(Form1) )

//if the checkbox value is true you will send the message to teams and submit the form. If the checkbox value is false, you will only submit the form.

What's more the message's content should be text, so I use Concat to transfer form.Updates to text.

Please replace with your control name, fieldname.

Best regards,

This seems so much closer than I was getting with it, but I'm still not able to make it work. I get:
The function 'Concat' has some invalid arguments.
Invalid number of arguments: received 4, expected 3.

I replaced the field names with my field names.

Any thoughts?

@KrishnaV
I had similar to this, but my issue is that in the content of the message, I need it to be pulled from either a Form entry (with 3 fields), or multiple text boxes. I can get the function to work with a single text box but don't know the logic to get more.

Thanks for trying to help me. Let me know if you have any more thoughts on it.

Hi @SL18 ,

This worked for me:

MicrosoftTeams.PostMessageToChannel( txtTeamID.Text,txtChannelID.Text, {body: {content:Concatenate(txtValue1.Text,"--",txtValue2.Text,"--",txtValue3.Text),contentType:0} });

I just changed Concat with Concatenate , hope this helps.
