Microsoft Loop automations

I'm trying to find a solution for connecting Microsoft Loop meeting memos to a flow.

The usecase I'm working with is:
- we're setting up the meeting in Teams, creating the agenda in advance in the meeting's Loop component
- during the meeting someone keeps notes within the same component
- after the meeting, the person who kept notes reads through it again, and cleans it up so that everything is clear and understandable
- they send out the completed memo to everyone

I would like to make the last step, sending the email, easier via a flow, to avoid having to go back to Outlook and manually compose the email.

My problem is, I don't know what trigger I can use. I don't want to use "when a file is modified", that would result in way too many emails with half-finished memos.

I'd need something that the user can trigger manually somehow from Loop when they decided the memo is ready to be send out, so that I can add an action in Flow that sends the email. (If there was a way to distinguish between recurring and one-off meetings, that would be amazing, but I don't think that's possible :))

There is one Microsoft Loop trigger that uses rules in Loop, but I couldn't find how to set those up either.

Thank you in advance!

Actually, is there any way to connect use Microsoft loops in flows? As I checked, there is a limited function to use them in flows. I am also struggling with this matter.

I haven't found much yet unfortunately.
Loop files themselves are stored in OneDrive, but you cannot do anything with individual changes, only if the file themselves was modified.
If you use the meeting memos from Teams and add action items, those will automatically be converted into a plan in Planner.
So no, not much with Loop itself yet, only workarounds.

Yes, You are correct, but the concept of Microsoft loops cannot be meet with Planner, Because we cannot have accessibility to edit at a real-time. Hope to have more features for Loops!

I want to do something similar. Ideally when an Action is added, I would like the action details to be available in Power Automate so they can be processed. In this case, we want to send them to a Microsoft List. Is anything like this feasible?

In theory, you could set up a Loop trigger to send an e-mail, pick up that e-mail in Power Automate and process that way but that seems long winded and you need to have Loop connectors enabled in DLP Policy???

Any ideas would be appreciated.
