Collect the username of each interaction in Teams Channel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LL-18031450-0
Hi, 
 
I want to collect all the usernames of people that is interacting in a Teams channel and put them in a Excel table (adding a new row in each new interaction).
 
However, it's collecting the usernames only of the new posts. I want to collect specially the usernames of the post replies (which is most all the interactions).
 
 
Could someone help me fix this? 
Guess: some function connected to Teams is not recognizing the ID of post replies, maybe the collecting info method is wrong
 
Thanks in advance, 
Leticia
 
 
 
Functions used:
 
Get User Profile(V2): triggerOutputs()?['body/from/user/id']
 
User Name: outputs('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['body/displayName']
Timestamp: formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/createdDateTime'], 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm')
Message Type: if(empty(triggerOutputs()?['body/replyToId']), 'New Post', 'Reply')

    Your flow only collects new posts because the Teams trigger does not detect replies at all — this is a known limitation of “When a new channel message is added”, which only fires for root messages, not thread replies.
    Microsoft confirms there is no trigger in Power Automate that can capture replies directly.

    To capture usernames from replies, you must switch to a different method:
     Use a Recurrence flow + Graph API to list channel messages with $expand=replies, then log both posts and replies into Excel.
