Posted on by jalaludin

I have channel and I want to get the last message and reply with the info, how do I do this ?

I tried using "get message details" seems like it is not working.

For example, the last message is "wdadw", I want to get that message and add my reply to it. So my message will be "wdadw myMessage".

Can I get advise as well on how to get the message id ?
Please refer my test workflow below.

Hi , @jalaludin

The "Message Id " can get from the trigger "When a new channel message is added":

Hi ,
Thank you for the fast reply. I think you misunderstood.

I do not want auto reply based on new message posted.
I actually want, to get the message from a specific post in a channel.

What I actually want to do is to make an automation that: -
1. Get the last message in that post (does not matter if it was 10days ago)
2. Use the get information into a new reply
3. Send the reply

For example:
1. The last message from the announcement shown in image above is "
Hye, this is Message1.

Hye, this is Message2.
"
2. I want to get that message information
3. And reply with
"
Hye, this is Message1.

Hye, this is Message2.

Hye, this is Message3.
"
the message1 and 2 is from the get message flow.

How can I achieve this ?
I would be very grateful for your help.

Hi, @jalaludin

Do you mean you want to get the last Message id ?

If this , you can try this:

Then use this expression:
outputs('Get_messages')?['body']?['value']?[0]?['id']

And if you want to get the replies message , you may need to call the Garph API:
Solved: Get Teams messages and its replies - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Use an action 'Get messages' to retrieve all the messages from the specific channel. To obtain the last message from that channel,
utilize the expression
substring(body('Get_messages')?['value'][0]?['body']?['content'], 3, sub(length(body('Get_messages')?['value'][0]?['body']?['content']), 7))

Additionally, add an action 'Reply with a message in a channel' and utilize the expression to obtain the message ID of the last updated message in the channel.
body('Get_messages')?['value'][0]?['id']
