Have a flow and purpose of which is to post a message in the channel, in order to avoid duplicate post, I have to check if a thread is already initiated in the team channel with the subject or not, if it is not there, then have to post a new thread. Currently i see the only way to do achieve by below

a. Get list of all the messages in the team channel

b. Loop through each and check if there is one with subject or not

c. Then take decision

This will not scale out when there are lot of message in team channel .

Is there any easy way to find the team message directly ?

Hello @Phani

I thought you might use a Graph API call to get teams messages: List channel messages - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs Unfortunately, this operation doesn't admit OData filter query parameters yet,

On the other hand, you could use a delta operation to filter messages by date: chatMessages: delta - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs

Hope it helps!

Hello @Phani ,
you could use the 'Filter Array' action instead of a loop. You'll still get all messages in the first step, but you don't have to check them one by one.
