Creating approvals from Teams

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by heroq24

Hi,

 

I am trying to create an auto approval when a Message is created on a teams channel.  I was able to get a flow working but not with the information needed. 

 

I entered a simple "When a new channel message is added" -> "Create an approval"  But the approval didn't show what the teams message or the attachment in the teams message was.  I just got text/code data. 

 

When trying to play with the different teams objects - it then began asking for outputs. 

 

Any ideas on how to make the approval show the teams message and attachments in the "approval?"

    Hi @heroq24 , 

     

    If you want to get more details about message via dynamic content, please try adding "Get message details" action.

    In addition, there is no dynamic content about attachments. I recommend you try expression to get attachments of message.

    Flow for getting attachments of message:
