Re: Power Automate + Yammer

Hi @Expiscornovus and @Dima372 ,
thank you for all your insights on this. I succeeded in posting to Yammer via your solution in an automated fashion which is GREAT✅.
However, I have one question about it related to images again and unfortunately no one has shared a screen shot of the actual outcomes so far. Is it possible to display the images as if they were really attached to the Yammer post with a proper image?
So far all I succeeded in was attaching the images only as an og object with a little icon (Images OG_Example1 and 2) but not a proper thumbnail or the actual image experience I would like to achieve.
Is that even feasible by any means?

Hi @Dima372,

Just to double check, you want to show the thumbnail just like posting it manually, correct?

If so, it looks like the Post message action posts the link just as a hyperlink and not an og_image or og_url object.

You could workaround that by using the Yammer REST API (https://developer.yammer.com/docs/messages-json-post) with an HTTP action.

That does require you to register an App in Yammer and make sure you collect an access token:

https://developer.yammer.com/docs/app-registration

When that is setup you could use an HTTP action like below (in your case it would be the og_image object)
