How to set Teams message to Important when creating from Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jason Yeung 53

Hi,

I'm currently creating a Power Automate flow that gets run when someone enters a ticket in DevOps. When someone does this, a message will be posted to Teams via Power Automate (the "Post message in a chat or channel" action):

So far, it works fine. But I want to set the message to be important in Teams. So it would look like the following instead of the default priority:

20230926_important teams messagee.JPG

 

I was wondering how do we set the priority level of the message?

    Hi @JasonYeung ,

     

    Please try to call the graph api.

    Hi @v-xiaochen-msft ,

    Thanks for the link. I tried this and was able to set the importance by adding it to the JSON file.

     

    One thing I noticed is that when I used the "Post message in a chat or channel" action, the from is shown as "FirstName LastName via Power Automate". But it's only "FirstName LastName" via GraphAPI. Is there a way to add the "via Power Automate" part? Below is a screen of both messages:

    I want the first message to have the same from person as the second message.
