How to have the bot start the conversation from PowerAutomate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by FoDelement 435

Hello,

I am working with a bot that is in Teams. The users enter a message in a teams channel for help, this triggers a flow. When the flow is ran, I use the "Post message in a chat or channel" to start a conversation with the user, using the bot. What I want to happen is, I pass the original message from the user to the bot, and the bot starts the conversation based on the original teams message.


All I can get to happen so far, is the bot posts a static message. Is there anyway to accomplish what I am trying to do?

    I am working on the same problem.

     

    The closest I have come is using the 'Post adaptive card and wait for response' action, with the hope that it's possible to submit the response data as an event to be handled by the bot. But no luck so far getting the bot to recognize the submission as an event.

     

    If anybody has come up with a creative solution for this I think both OP and I would love to know! 

    Thanks
