Workflow is not able to post a message/card in Private channels

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Hello all,
 
I have created a simple workflow which posts on a channel when a webhook is received. 
It works when I use a public channel. However, with private channels - it always throws error:  '{"error":{"code":"BotNotInConversationRoster","message":"The bot is not part of the conversation roster."}}'.
I have checked my team's settings, channel settings. Everything seems to be valid. I have used "Post as: Flow bot" in the configuration - 
 
Is this a bug or is there any workaround for this issue? I assume we can use "User" in "Post as" parameter, but I intend not to go with that approach.

    The documentation of the connector suggests that this is a general limitation of the Teams connector:
    Posting a message or adaptive card to a private channel currently isn't supported
     
     
    Happy to help out 😁

    I share more #PowerAutomate and #SharePointOnline content on my Blog, LinkedIn, Bluesky profile or Youtube Channel

    just set the "post as" to "user" to receive he postings also in private channels.
    this will create posts as the user that offers the connection from PA to teams
