Issue with Missing URL Information in Power Automate

Thank you for your continued support.

We are considering a flow that uses Power Automate to notify a Teams chat when items registered in a SharePoint list are added.

When the content of the notification item includes a URL, clicking the hyperlink does not navigate to the intended URL. We believe this occurs because part of the hyperlink information is missing during processing in Power Automate—specifically, the company domain portion (https://xxxx.xxx.xx/).

Please note that in Teams, the URL itself is displayed correctly, and when the URL is copied and pasted into a browser, it successfully navigates to the intended page.

When Power Automate processes items registered in a SharePoint list, is it possible that the company domain portion of a URL is not returned?
Additionally, if you are aware of any measures to correctly preserve hyperlink information in URLs, we would appreciate it if you could share them with us.

Hi

Could you please check in your SharePoint list whether the link is stored as a relative URL (e.g. /sites/...) or as a full absolute URL (e.g. https://company.com/sites/...)? SharePoint can handle both formats, so clicking the link there will work in either case.

Next, please check your flow run history in Power Automate to see how the value is actually returned. It is possible that the flow receives the link as a relative path instead of a full URL.

In SharePoint: This works because SharePoint can resolve relative paths.
In Teams: This may fail because the hyperlink target may require a full absolute URL.

If the value is relative (e.g. starts with /sites/...), try converting it to a full URL in Power Automate before sending it to Teams.

Hope it helps!

Thank you very much for your prompt response.

In the SharePoint list, the URL link is stored as a full absolute URL (e.g. https://company.com/sites/...).
However, we believe that Power Automate is receiving the link as a relative URL (e.g. /sites/...).
In Power Automate, the processing is performed using the following flow.
Since the URL link is recognized as a relative path in step (1), it is converted to a full absolute path in step (2). However, in step (3), it appears to be recognized again as a relative path.

Power Automate processing Flow
(1)When an item is created or modified in SharePoint
(2)Compose (replace /sites/ with https://company.com/sites/)
(3)Post a message in a Teams chat or channel

Does Power Automate have a specification or behavior in which URLs are treated as relative paths instead of full absolute URLs (i.e., omitting the company domain such as https://company.com/)?
Additionally, if there are any issues or mistakes in the above Power Automate processing flow, we would appreciate it if you could point them out.

Please use a concatenation expression as shown below and use it in teams

Concat('https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com', item()?['YourURLcolumn'])

Thank you for suggesting an approach to address this issue.
I understand that, when posting messages to Teams, it is necessary to generate a full absolute URL using the concat function.
