Posted on 30 Jul 2024 22:44:19 by 14
I have created a Flow to add selected message from teams chat to a SharePoint List issue tracker.
everything working great- However i cannot find a way to capture the date(and time) of the selected message. Is it not available as an output from the above trigger? (will be very weird if that's the case- as that is the certainly one of the most valuable info needed from the message ).
am i missing something?

    You need to add a Get Message details action to your flow to get the date of the message. Keep in mind the timestamp returned will be in UTC.
