How to dynamically select team channel to post message to in power automate?

Question

I am trying to set up a flow that posts a message to a Teams Channel based on a specific response when a form is filled out. The form will specify the channel to post to and I am trying to specify the channel dynamically. I want it to post to different channels depending on values chosen in the form.

Since I don't know of a direct way to make this work, I was trying to match the form response to the Channel ID in Microsoft Lists to create an output that could be used as the dynamic Channel. When saved and ran I do not get any errors, however, this flow does not create the message in any channel. Help please!

Unfortunately, Power Automate is not supported on this forum.

I recommend that you post this on https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Power-Automate/ct-p/MPACommunity and someone with more expertise will be able to assist.

Hi @ Jeffrey Heavener

Select essentially returns an array (even if it only has one value), while the channel field only needs a text value.
Please add an Apply to each under Select and use the expression item() in the channel field of Post message in a chat or channel.
