I don't know if there is a capability for that yet.

You can create a chatbot using Copilot Studio and call a flow inside a bot and send a message back to a bot though.

Here is an idea that was create for your scenario:

Teams - 'Post a Message' - Custom Flow Bot Names · Community

Hope it helps.

Cheers!

@narayan225 you mean the virtual agent alternative?

that one cant post to channels.

i need to be able to post to both chats and channels.

i want to show a different name than the current default one. and also have more chats for different flows. now everything is under workflow chat in teams.

then my only option is to have multiple service accounts. but im not sure adaptive cards can be used when posting as user...

You can use adaptive cards with Power Automate. However, I have not tried them using myself either with workflow bot or as a user. But it prolly wont work as a user as the prerequisite is the workflows app in Teams.

Create flows that post adaptive cards to Microsoft Teams - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

We have a user account that is called something like Bot with an avatar with a bot. If you create the flow using that account you can choose the option to post as that user. It would require the user to have access to all the places you need it to post to.
