Maximum number of channels for Teams connector: List Channels?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2,307 Super User 2025 Season 2

I have a team with 144 channels in it. If I use the Power Automate List Channels action, I get this response:

{
 "error": {
 "code": 504,
 "source": "australia-001.azure-apim.net",
 "clientRequestId": "dbe71eb0-0b74-4e3a-9f00-debba7e54fa8",
 "message": "BadGateway",
 "innerError": {
 "error": {
 "code": "UnknownError",
 "message": "",
 "innerError": {
 "date": "2020-11-26T22:54:47",
 "request-id": "c7481058-b283-4dae-94e5-29f1cefffc22",
 "client-request-id": "c7481058-b283-4dae-94e5-29f1cefffc22"
 }
 }
 }
 }
}

I get the same issue using the MicrosoftTeams.GetChannelsForGroup() function in Power Apps when the same 144 channel team is used. Other teams with fewer channels are fine.

 

I looked up the documentation both for the Power Platform/Logic Apps connectors and also the Graph API List Channels endpoint and there's no mention of a limit.

 

I can successfully list all the channels using this Graph API endpoint: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{team-id}/channels but the response takes approximately 30,000 ms. The problem is with the Power Platform/Logic Apps connector rather than the underlying API.

 

Is there a limit to the number of channels or a response timeout in the connector that isn't documented?

    Hi @WillPage,

     

    I think it is not the issue about the limitation of list channel number, cause I tested the List channels action on my side to get 150 channels in a team, not found the same issue. You could also use Flow to create 150 simple channels to test it.

    I can see that the error report is 504 error, it is a BadGateway error, so you could check the gateway if works correctly, you could also recreate a new one to test it.
